No experience of them, but, they are pedigree oils of a high calibre, you cant really go wrong using them as they are 'ultimate' oils. Just dont try using long oci's, 8-10k max, as some esters are hygroscopic to a degree and absorb moisture over time, one of the reasons manufacturers dont condone them. They are intended for a short but extreme life. A3/B4 classification technically means they can fulfill the specified oci but it isnt advised unless the oci is short.
