[Chevelle-list] O/T oil additive

[jlon5 at cox.net]

I am not sure of their requirements but the labeling on the bottle states it meets or exceeds requirements of both gasoline and diesel engines. I am not involved with the actual bottling of the oils just the manufacture and blending of different components in their full strength form before they are added to the base oils that is then botled. Hope this helps.
