Scuse me? That was rude and totally uncalled for. You apparently think everyone on this board is an engineer who might understand what the hell is being discussed. That's obviously an erroneous conclusion. As for spoon feeding, how much do you know about tax law? not much?? hope you can do good research on your own when you need to, and come up with appropriate conclusions regarding your chances for success, since you obviously think everything one needs to know in on the internet and is there for the taking.

I don't get those ads, aside from being funny, what does a Scottish man wearing a tartan hat and neck tie have to do with Castrol?

I guess the marketing plan is to make people who don't pause to look at Castrol's new product and acknowledge it as a (me too Mobil 1) as dipsticks.

Time for you to tone it down.

In short, Group 4 and 5 synthetics are really on only oils made from full synthetic base oils. Whether you need a group 4 or 5 is a matter of opinion.

Do what you need to do and watch your tone.

Thanks
