Listing PAO or Ester on Bottle!

[ctrcbob]

When will the oil companies start listing on the bottle that the Motor Oil within is a PAO, or an Ester (DiEster, Polyolester, etc), or at least if it is a Group II, III, IV or V oil?

The closest I've seen is Motul E-Tech 100 (motorcycle oil) says on the bottle that it is a PAO/Ester mix.

AmsOil car oil, in weights 5w30 and 10w30 (the one with the yellow label) does say on the case, that it is 100% PAO, but not on the bottles.

Wish I could read it on a label!

Red Line does ofcourse.
But if it is a Gp III based oil and you're charging as much as a PAO based oil it's obviously not in your best interests to divulge the actual contents; much better to label the product as a "Full Synthetic" which you can legally do. It is a perfect example of "buyer beware".
It's not right but Mobil already lost the court case on the matter against Castrol.

What a relief! (Thank goodness it won't be until BITOGERs begin praising FRAM oil filters en masse...)
