Yeah - Mobil decided to downgrade BECAUSE of Castrol getting away with it...as they had to to stay cost competitive...and ALL the mass producers jumped in, once the precident had been set...sell Group 3 oil as Full Synthetic, or be priced out of the market.

So there ARE NO mass producers with Group 4 or 5 on the shelves any more...just Group 3's sold as Full Synthetics.

Interestingly...30% of the oil had to be cracked sufficiently to be able to say that...and the one's who advertised Synthetic Blends were just less than 30% Group 3...the rest of the oil in the can (> 70% ) could be Group 1 or 2, etc.

:rolleyes:
