What do you mean by min. T?
The SUV is a C3 oil. I think they're just marketing it towards SUV as it only comes in 7L container. I think, the Ranger eg, has a larger capacity sump. Maybe 7L?

Min T (as described on Lubrizol) is Minimum Base Number.
I would assume this would mean pH value.
The oils ability to neutralize acid formation during the combustion process.
