But generally if the product is a G-IV, they won't hide it. The only way is to search for specs on the internet based on the product code. Price benchmarking with Helix Ultra AB and Syntium 3000 is also a reasonable way. You didn't read my thread Spaceman! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Any G-II, G-III or G-IV oil can be 0Wxx, 5Wxx, 10Wxx or 15Wxx. It only depends on what amounts of polymer thickeners are added to hit the hot W, and what amounts of Pour Point Depressants are added to hit the cold W. There's no 'production technology' involved. Don't use the multigrade range as a yardstick. As an analogy, that would be like saying a hotter curry means a better cook. How hot a curry is only depends on how much curry powder you put in.</blockquote>
