It actually exceeds it 
Also the one used by Subaru world rally team and the majority of Evo / Impreza owners
Bikers like it too 
I think its the only true 100% ester oil.
API rating is voluntary on engine oil, and bears no relation to the quality - its more energy saving initiative but it does give guidelines to the viscosity etc...
Having to work with API standards every day

Im guessing you work with oil too
I do think regardless of the lack of API rating its a top lubricant. Its the most widely used on some of the very modded cars on scoobynet / MLR.
The API rating does have a performance / economy slant on it. I think its one of the 3 points? SL?
Ive also used it for years now and had no issues which is unsurprising.
True on esters not liking water, but its prob not an issue.
What quality is it missing?
Some of the gas turbine oils I deal with are extremely hydroscopic too which makes a nightmare for storage.
I dont have to sell it - I do because I like it

Ah yes, sorry!
Your peeps do the tribology on some of my oil
Actually had BP lubricants guy in today to try and sort some training issues on site.
Hows it going?

There has been many many many (and sometimes heated) debates on oil
