Reality is all three oils are what could be considered syn blends. Each is a mixture of Group II and Group III base oils. The havoline even says as much on the label!quote:

That's interesting...on the Havoline web site, they have separate listings for "Motor Oil", "Synthetic Blend", and "Synthetic Motor Oil"...the only listing for a 5w-20 is under "Motor Oil"...if it was actually a synth blend, I wonder why they wouldn't say so?quote:

I wouldn't call classifying an oil in a LOWER category than it really is as "hype"...quote:

What I was pointing out was exactly the reverse. Buy the Motorcraft or Durablend BECAUSE it says its a blend when its no different than every other dino oil out there is buying into hype.quote:

For some reason, Castrol is the ONLY company out of 17 I've researched so far that doesn't put any PDS info on its web sitequote:

Why not got with the Ford Motorcraft oil? It's available at Wal-Mart and other places. Even my Pennzoil Quick Lube has it. I'd bet since it's Conoco Hydroclear, it's good stuff.quote:
