Elsewhere on the board, there is lots of discussion regarding rumours that ExxonMobil has switched to or added GroupIII basestock for their Mobil 1 synthetic line of oil. Group III, for those who don't know the lingo, is based on mineral-based oil, like Castrol is accused of using. This is considered inferior to Group IV (PAO) and Group V (Ester) based "true" synthetic oils. Just food for thought.
