Found my answer! This is from INTERNATIONAL LUBRICANT STANDARDIZATION AND APPROVAL COMMITTEE document dated january14, 2004
So all this rating means is that the oil meets minimum quality standards and the company operates ethically. This is good info to know, But I hope for more than minimum standards. You can find the entire document HERE.

The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. and representatives from DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation, through an organization called the International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), jointly developed and approved an ILSAC GF-4 minimum performance standard for gasoline-fueled passenger car engine oils.
This standard specifies the minimum performance requirements (both engine sequence and bench tests) and chemical and physical properties for those engine oils that vehicle manufacturers deem necessary for satisfactory equipment performance and life. In addition to meeting the requirements of the standard, it is the oil marketer’s responsibility to be aware of and comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements on substance use restrictions, labeling, and health and safety information when marketing products meeting the GF-4 standard. It is also the marketer’s responsibility to conduct its business in a manner which represents minimum risk to consumers and the environment.
Odd that Motorcraft oil isn't on the list

PS You can buy better oil for even less money than the Supertech if you shop around.....I've bought Pennzoil Plat before and after the rebates and coupons I made 5 bucks on the deal! How is that for being cheap? I got paid to use a great synth!
