My considered opinion is that it appears to be oil.

Uh no!!! It's liquid engineering. Sheesh don't you watch the commercials

Funny on their website they compare it to Mobil 1. They don't say Mobil 1 Synthetic. I wonder which Mobil oil they really tested against? They only show 1 test. It needs more testing than just that. They are also saying that they are the only one advertising extended drain intervals of 15K miles. Most Vette owners couldn't handle the thought of an oil in their engine for that long.

I agree. It's oil. Pick the one you like best. Change it regularly. Send a test sample off to a lab for analysis. Lather, rinse, repeat.
