It's what it DOESN'T have....

Auto oil DOESN'T have Zinc or Phosphurus, which will harm a catlytic converters.

Instead, it's labled "Energy Conserving" in the API rating lablel on the back, and has lubrication enhancement additives in it instead.

The same enhancement packages that can make wet clutches slip.
