Arrow M-1 15W-50 ...My take?

I was recently Pm'd about 15W-50 SilverCap M-1

Fantastic synthetic oil at a great price.

Nice balance of detergents/anti-wear additives and anti-friction additives. Strong Grp IV base.

Silicon: M1 15W-50: 9ppm
Boron: M1 15W-50: 228ppm
Sodium: M1 15W-50: 13ppm
Magnesium: M1 15W-50: 43ppm
Calcium: M1 15W-50: 2464ppm
Phosphorus: M1 15W-50: 1193ppm
Zinc: M1 15W-50: 1315ppm
Molybdenum: M1 15W-50: 90ppm

Well, I dont know what all those chemicals are nor what they do. But, I have been running this oil for a while with no oil related issues. I will be using this stuff for a long time to come.
