Default G-Oil Synthetic Motor Oil question

Hi CL,

Has anyone ever used this product, the G-Oil Synthetic Motor Oil 5w-30, before? (http://www.getg.com/engineOil/5W-30.php)

If so, would you recommend it for a 2008 IS250, have you noticed any pros/cons with it, etc.? Any feedback you can provide on it at all would be very appreciated!

Also, in case you were wondering, the reason I ask is because there is a pretty good deal for it on slickdeals (http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/57218) where you get 5 qts for free (after rebate). So if it's a decent to good oil, it turns out to be a pretty fantastic deal.

Thanks!

There are a couple of UOAs of G-oil on BITOG:

After reading those, I'm not planning on running G-oil in my car.
