60% Synthetic....

[Oregoonian]

....has been touted recently on BITOG....that many blends, and some dinos have 60% synthetic. Is this true ?

Is there any verifiable proof....that this is true?....or is this just a guess or speculation ?

For MC blend it was from the MSDS

Pennzoil Gold says right on the bottle, over 50% Synthetic oil used. As for Motocraft it is 60% Synthetic group 3 and Group 2 Blend.

GPIII and GPII for MC? Considering the price point, I was under the impression it was a GPIII and GPI blend.

No GRP l. Is there even any name brand pcmo that uses GRP l anymore?

That some blends may contain up to 60% synthetic doesn't surprise me. However, I would really be interested in the percentage of syn in current dinos.

I'm pretty sure all of the CP brands are over 60 as well, as are the two Sopus blends...

I'm not saying it uses group 1 as the majority basestock, but that they went with a GPIII + GPI blend to net a result similar to a pure GPII+ base stock, whilst giving them the opportunity to advertise it as a synthetic blend.
Given the price point this oil sells at, I don't really see how they could offer 60% GPIII and 40% GPII...not when conventional oils from competing brands are the same price or more.

Anyways, this oil performs well regardless of its base oil formulation. I've always just been a bit curious as to its composition...especially given its price.

I believe most Dino oils are a Group 2+
