Is there any plan on the part of any motor oil producers in the United States to produce synthetic oils in this country comparable to the synthetic oils that exist in Europe? Of course, ExxonMobil has Mobil 1 and there are Redline and Amsoil (plus a few others), but it seems like most producers are going to Group III and away from what many would consider to be true synthetics.
Will the trend be towards Group III or will we start to see motor oils in this country comparable to the German Castrol and other synthetic oils developed in Europe?
