    Current oil comparisons

    Just joined and am working my way through the site. What sources are there for current, honest comparisons between commercial auto oils? Especially looking to compare synthetic blends and full synthetics. Yes, saw several posts that type III and type IV oils can be marketed as "full synthetics"...
