Default Morris Lubricants 10W/50 Competition Full Synthetic

Has anyone used Morris Lubricant 10W/50 Competition Full Synthetic engine oil?

I posted a similar question 6 years ago on this forum and got no answer :-(

They produce a competition 10w50 full synthetic oil:
Supplier of specialist fuels, lubricants, oils and grease to all industries - Morris Lubricants online

From the back of the tin it gives all the right information and the usual specs:
API SJ,SH/CF; ACEA A3-98/B3-98; CCMC G5, PD-2; MB 229.1; VW 501.01, 505.00.

The grade compares quite well to the old Mobil 1 Motorsport and Silkolene Pro S (10w50).

I doubt if he'll give it a glowing report - he doesn't flog the stuff!

Just a thought - Morris is API-SJ? API is up to SM now and SJ is considered an oil for cars older than 2001. Ask Oilman. If you really want to check, find out the base oils and the viscosities - also the Viscosity Index. Then check agains Motul Silkolene etc...

Full spec is downloadable via PDF at:

My manual states:
Recommended grade and viscosity:
API classification SL or SJ or SH with words "ENERGY CONSERVING" or
ACEA specification A1, A2 or A3 or the API certification mark.
10w-30 and 10w-40

Recommended grade and viscosity under severe driving conditions:
API classification SL or SJ or SH:
SAE viscosity No.: 30, 40, 10w-50, 20w-40, 20w-50
