AMTECOL 5W-20 PAO OIL

However, the 70% base oil being 100% PAO is not average in today's environment of group III "synthetic oils".


Well, let's not get stuck on GroupIII thinking that this is the only way to formulate lubricants. As I have mentioned before, there are a myriad of ways to formulate an oil with many different base oils, base oil viscosities, and additive packages.

Even GroupIII oils contain various amounts of other Groups to correct the final oil combo.

I thought PAO base was supposed to be better than mineral based oil. I'm learning.
But what are the benifits vs the drawbacks of the high pao base of the Amtecol oil.
thanks.
