Yes both. I consulted for the company 20 years ago and helped them develop a 5w40 low ash racing oil for Audi Racing who had to run DPF’s for their world sports cars ( CANAM ). That oil has become a mainstay of lubricants for gasoline and diesel engines for a long time. 

 

I don't see this LA 5W40 oil on their site. No longer offered?

It would be the 5w40 HD BioSynxtra now. All the HD multigrades are below 1% ash I think.

OUCH! :sigh: $22.91 a quart. 

 

Does the 3.0 HTHS meet then newest SAE J300?

That’s a typo RLI usually doesn’t report the actual value. Just that it exceeds J300 min.

If one purchases this product buy in at least gallons or larger to cut price.

That exact 5w40 HD low ash formula solved issues with many different HP engines. BMW 3.0 twin turbo, Subaru turbo 4 boxer engines, Audi 4.2 V8 NA high performance carbon maker, turbo 2.0 L VW GTI carbon maker, Ford 6.0 turbo diesel POS and there’s more. 
Wonder if this would resist that 2.4 issues?

I’ve been digging into old data bases from my testing. 
these are PCMO formulas. I’ll find my independent testing of the 5w40 HD low ash. The original formula that was about 1.4% ash contained copper sulfonate and antimony. We dropped copper sulf. But it was a dream additive with HOBS

RLI 5w40 HD older formula from late 2000's  Note less NOACK stability but that HTHS is better or same as this on newer version.
