$20 says that this exactly the same stuff they've been selling for years, with no new additives.
If it meets the current spec, then it has less of at least some of the stuff (e.g., ZDDP) than the older oils do. Part of one of the API standards (SL possibly?) requires lower amounts of some additives than were allowed and were frequently used a decade or more ago.
