Never heard of it-what do you need it for?

Yes, I'd seen the shale oil thing, probably unconnected.

Apologies, should have given more info.

Its a brand of synthetic 10/40 motor oil currently on promotion in Taiwan at a very low price for a synthetic.

I've never heard of it, and apparently no one else has, so it'd be pretty hard to sell even if its made from angels tears and confers immortality on annointed engines.

In those circumstances they MIGHT be loss-leading, or giving up and selling off, which MIGHT explain the price. Only alternative would be BIG advertising.

No way to tell though, short of trying some and getting an oil analysis done, so I probably won't buy any.

Oddly familiar :) They've never heard of it either.
