Castrol's product is a Group III based oil. By the way, when people talk of Mobil 1's formulation change, they are talking about the fact that they went from group IV to group III. Not all Mobil 1 versions are made of the same base stock. I believe the some of the extended products are group IV.
What??? I have NO idea what that means! And neither the inclination nor the time to do the research to find out! I'm not bashing you, I just don't understand and, not being an engineer, not sure I would grasp the significance of it if I DID do the research. So...in layman's terms what does that mean? Is there any significance to me, the user, in what that says?
