Millions to patent? More like $50k at most. I'm sure some serious R&D went into the oil, but that was probably outsorced at a Japanese oil company like Eneos. It's probably an off-the-shelf product with an additive package mixed in. Almost guaranteed.

Millions of dollars went into designing the VHR, not the oil for it.
