When you buy your finished oil you are getting a blend of base stocks and additives to meet a specification.

Ehhh...why not just read the PDF? It pretty much spells out the characteristics of each type, their advantages and their intended uses.

mPAO tends to be on the thick side … Mobil Industrial Lubricants would have it before a jug of Walmart M1

The last one isn't a PAO, AN's are a different beast.

mPAO is heavy and incredibly low in volatility, it's also expensive so it is not used much in PCMO's. It can be used in small doses to tweak viscosity in place of using VII making the resulting formula more shear stable.

The others are just Mobil's PAO offerings with SpectraSyn being their "normal" PAO product portfolio and the Plus version having slightly better cold temp performance and lower volatility.
