sorted byThis looks like a bog standard C3 synthetic. Nothing special at all & not worth paying over the odds for.
TBH, with a measured 100°C kinematic viscosity of 12.74 cst, it's barely just a 40 weight oil. If you can get it cheaper, get the 5W30 version of HX8 instead.
Also just calcium & no magnesium. Is this stuff good for preventing LSPI? (not that it's a real issue for 99.999999999% of drivers). I suspect not. (edited)

I always look at the manufacturer specifications for lubes and then find the highest quality (Specs) for the cheapest money. Sorry OP. Appreciate the post though (edited)
When you changing oil every year or after 10k miles you will be fine with most oils when meeting manufacturers spec.
