Do you have anything to verify the fact, or just talk on another website?
This info is out there - but bear in mind that it's on Amsoil's site:

The best oils are Group IV PAO (Polyalphaolefin) . As far as I know Mobil 1 (0w-40), Royal Purple and Amsoil's Original Synthetic, Series 2000, Series 3000 oils are all Group IV PAO. Most other "synthetic" oils are not Group IV PAO.
Amsoil's XL7500 is a Group III hydrocracked oil. I understand that other versions of Mobil 1 have switched to a Group III hydrocracked base, but I'm not sure which ones. I use the 0w-40 anyhow.
Conventional wistom says that the Group IV POA-based oils are superior, there's still a question of how much better.
Redline is a Group V POE (POLYOL ESTER)oil - and you pay the price for it.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 05-06-2007 at 01:54 PM.
