Don't shoot me!!
I am just quoting some info I found from Castrol.
Cost..PAO 3-4 times the cost of hydroprocessed.
Performance. Castrol North America claims that Syntec, made from hydroprocessed out performs Mobil 1 made from PAO, at less than half the cost.
We believe that hydroprocessed oils are of similar performance to PAO products down to SAE 5w.
Is hydroisomerized as good as PAO?
No not quite as good but much better value for the money.
----------------------------------
Oh yeah, it said somewhere in there that SLX is a PAO oil. So is TXT 10w40 but not TXT Soft tec.
