can someone simplify these groups of oils...i am confused..i use a mobil drive clean and i heard its group 1...what are the benifits of each group...o and if u will be nice just give an example of a type from each category..? thanks!!
 
In terms of definition, the solvent-extracted mineral base stocks are classified as Group I, for basically untreated mineral base oil; a Group II lubricant is subjected to a severe hydrotreating which gets rid of most of the unsaturated molecules and makes the oil much more stable. A further hydrotreating creates a more refined Group III stock with a higher viscosity index (VI). The pure synthetic PAO oil is Group IV, and all the other lubricant stocks not covered by these classifications are in Group V.
