I'm back for a few minutes. Some of you old timers may recall how i have posted that the new hydro-isomerized Group III oils were nearly as good as full synthetics?
Here is an excellent article.

Table 1 stinks, though. There are many Group III oils out there, including Pennzoil and Valvoline. It proves once and for all though that Syntec is not a true GIV, which i also posted.
So while I still hold Castrol responsible for dumbing down the word synthetic, the good news is that the Group III products may be all the lubricant you need, specially if long-drain intervals are not in your maintenance lexicon.
Hi to all my old Pals on here: Jimmy V, The Amazonian, Lynn, Matt, the guys at Mustang Magic, etc.
