Very few oils, all of them premium, are PAO based. Its a great deal if it suits your requirements, in my case supercharged.

I used to run Motul 8100 X-Cess on the VAG 2.0T which is also a Group IV, had the highest ZDDP content that I could find for the weight I needed.
Interesting how TRD Performance sells a 0W30 oil made by Total, and STI Peformance sells a 5W40 oil made by Motul for the 86/BRZ recommended for track use.
