Default Dynocat oil, advice needed

hello

As i live i europe. not all the same oils that you have in the us are aviable for me.
I have used quaker state oil in both my transmission and motor since i bought the car. (Gm stuff in diff)

I now am told that quaker state a couple of years ago changed the oil for the Europen market. And was advised from using it.

I now am planning to use Mobil-1, 5-50 rally formula motor oil. (I have 35 liters in the garage, because i got good price. And it is what i use on my other cars)
And i am evaluating to use Dynocat shiftmatic ATF on my transmission. (made in USA)

Anyone else have any experience with the Dynocat stuff?

Using a search engine the only references I find to Dynocat are European many in non-english. What makes you think this is marketed in the USA?

I don't believe that product is sold in Canada. I have never seen it.

I use Castrol 10W-40 with a bottle of this each fill.

It is made in pensylvania USA. So that made me believe that it was also marketed in USA.

I bought 12bottles of the stuff, from a norwegian dealer, Before the same dealer sold quacer state. He told me had changed to dynocat because he had gotten complaint about quakerstate. (On the european market. he told my they changed the components in the oil a coupple years back)
But when i searched for information on the dynocat oil. I found very little information on it. And it made me sceptical. So i was hoping someone had some experience with it.

The tranny oil is what i am looking to change.
And i hoped somebody had used the dynocat stuff. since that is what is most easely aviable for me.

I believe I have solved the mystery of Dynocat. It's made by a company called Norsk-Pennsylvansk. If you google this name it turns out to be Quaker State which is why it mentions Pennsylvania as the source of the oil. It is not makerted in North American under the Dynocat name.
