I will probably have access to this oil in the future, at a good price.
I have an R51/3.

I see the API rating of SG so that suggests it has a good amount of ZDDP. I'd like to see more chemical specifications notably the amount of zinc and phosphates. The goal is to try and get the parts per million of these two chemicals summed up to be better than say 1500. But generally, the basic information suggests it could be OK to use.

To me, it's not the price. Oil is the "blood" of the engine and I want to get the best or near the best that I can.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.
