Forgot to say….

I have used this for the last 4 years and it has been really good. Great for general tyre maintenance but maybe a little underpowered if you are inflating from totally flat.

So I found this website https://ukla-vls.org.uk/ of an organisation that tests oil independently and publishes the results. Specifically they deal with claims where the oil specs claimed by the manuf ...
