Mobil 1 oil weight

[Taka Mizutani]

Once again, you're spouting misinformation.

The OLD Pennzoil Platinum was 100% PAO based, group V basestock.

The NEW stuff is the same hydrocracked group III stuff that everyone now
calls synthetic.

Whether you doubt it or not, you're just plain WRONG- it was 100% PAO based,
that's why I have about
30qts. of it in the garage.

The basestock of an oil is not OPINION, it's FACT. Just because you choose
to believe incorrect information doesn't make it right. The formulation has
nothing to do with personal preference.

I'm not talking about performance, I'm talking about the base stock of the
oil- my post was directly addressing the fact that your INCORRECT
information about oil basestock is pure misinformation.

BTW, I paid $2.25/qt. for my 100% PAO group V Pennzoil Platinum, so $5-7 qt.
doesn't fly.

If you want to learn anything, you need to actually do some research, not go
off half-cocked with outdated information and a lot of conjecture, which is
what you've been doing for the last several posts on this topic.

STOP POSTING WRONG INFORMATION- YOU'RE NOT HELPING ANYONE.
