European car manufacturers all specify
oils that have met ACEA oil specifications , because of that , your oils are far superior to many / most of the junk lubricants sold in America , some of the American "synthetic" oils have not been tested to any standard at all (royal Purple) and many of the rest do not meet any ACEA specifications and are not good enough to use in a lawn mower let alone the trusted chariot that will transport your family and self for 100k miles or more .

but
19000 miles is pushing the envelope
