The whole True Synthetic debate is so 1999. We are almost to 2009 folks.

So what? The nomenclature still bothers us. Shall we just lie down and cease to debate? I've got a Group III in my engine right now. I wish it said Group III on the bottle instead of synthetic. If I want true synthetic I call up Pablo and say, "Hey man! I need some of the real stuff!"

In Australia its group 3 from Valvo themselves telling me and MSDS/TDS. So if mineral is from plant, its not farr from Group 4 vegetable base ester oils etc etc.....
