Mike,
I just went and checked: Castrol calls the product "Super Clean".
They suggest diluting it 8:1 for parts washers (I use 3:1). There is a
caution note regarding extended contact with painted surfaces or
aluminum. The Castrol part # is 723D. I paid $7.99 for the last gallon.
The UPC code is 79191 00723.
