What is the maximum temperature a Group II conventional oil can handle?
Obviously the BS factor has you guys baffled, FWIW "Hydrocracking" is also known as the conversion process that produces "Conventional" oils ONLY thus resulting in usable products from Crude oil and are NOT synthetic in any respect.
This oil is a basic conventional and not even in the ballpark of a dumbed down Group III much less a Group IV PAO.
I wouldn't run that cr@p in my lawnmower much less a modern HSDI engine like the TDI!
