How can you look at the MSDS or data sheets and tell what base stock is used in a dino oil? For instance, I just looked at the MSDS for Mobil Drive Clean and it lists 'severely treated mineral oil' as an ingredient. Isn't that group 2? A recent call to the Mobil tech line confirmed Drive Clean is a group 2, contrary to some info in this site. Any help is appreciated.
 
If you see CAS64742547 in there under one of the ingredients, you know it's hydrocracked oil, although that covers group 2, group 2+ and group 3 I believe.
