It  is basically formulated for some of the new honda  and bmw vehicles
(and some others)  with extremely low tolarance engines.  some of the
newer engines have manuals that specifically ban heavier oils in the
engine as seal  blowers. I  might look at it for cold climate use but
not in  everyday use in warmer climes for aircooled engines.  there is
also a 5w20  and 0w30 from some other brands.
