It also has a really weird part number, which supports that theory.
I bet the new Roush synthetic oil is the same stuff because it says made by
Valvoline on the bottle. Our local speed shop "Goodies" sells the Roush brand. Looks like good stuff. Beware that only certain weights have enough ZDDP.
10W-40 is one of the good ones. See their chart on the roushoil.com site.
Also it has what dealers carry it.
