Questron Synthetic Blend Motor Oil (SAE 10W-30)
Use of this product in virtually all automobile engines will likely cause harm to the engine.
The labels on this product are false, misleading and deceptive by way of prominently displaying “SAE 10W-30 PREMIUM SN-GF5 MOTOR OIL” and stating the product “meets the latest in automotive manufacturer’s requirements.” Although small print on the back label states, “Use where an SJ/SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended,” the dominant and repeated display of SAE 10W-30 PREMIUM SN-GF5 MOTOR OIL would likely lead a reasonable consumer to believe the product meets the API SN/GF-5 Service Category; a specification seen in the owner’s manual of many cars currently on the road.
The results of the tests conducted on this sample do NOT meet the SAE J300 specifications for the SAE 10W-30 Viscosity Grade listed on the product labels, and are NOT consistent with the labeled API Service Categories. The Cold Crank Viscosity is sufficiently low to indicate the sample should be labeled with a lower SAE W Grade than that listed on the product label. In addition, the organometallic additive levels in this sample are much lower than typical for API SJ, SN, or GF-5 oils, rendering the product NOT suitable for use in the majority of automobile engines currently on the road.
Questron Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF MD III
Use of this product in virtually any automatic transmission on the road today will likely cause harm to the transmission.
The labels on this product are misleading and deceptive. The prominent display of the term “MD-III” could be interpreted by a reasonable consumer to mean it’s an automatic transmission fluid (ATF) formulated for use in vehicles recommending Dexron III/Mercon type ATF. This is because it is not unusual to see similar nomenclature on bottles of transmission fluid that are formulated for such use. Results on the sample tested show that this product does not meet the requirements of these specifications, nor for that matter of any other Automatic Transmission Fluid specification.
In addition, the back label states it is “formulated with a unique combination of premium motor oil.” Importantly, motor oils are much different than ATFs and would not be appropriate for use in nearly any vehicle transmission currently on the road. The Viscosity of the sample tested is far below any ATF specification, as is the Flash Point. Further, it lacks the critical additives necessary for all modern automatic transmissions.
