[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 539438, member: 61743"] AFAIK, only Mobil 1 and Amsoil are true PAO synthetics. Royal Purple I'm not sure of. PAO means it has a true synthetic base stock made from gases. Other synthetic oils actually use a highly refined dino base stock oil (Group IV) with synthetic additives. Exxon/Mobil sued Castrol and others for marketing this as "synthetic oil", but they lost. All that said, the synthetics from Valvoline, Castrol, Havoline, etc., are perfectly fine stuff to use, but a 5 qt. jug of Mobil 1 at Wal-Mart for $19.96 is a tough deal to beat. Personally I don't like ScAmsoil simply because of the high price, multi-level marketing sales style, and claims that it will cure everything from poor mpg to dandruff, gout, and lombago.
