Marketing Hype!!!!!!!

[GregH]

OK guys,
Here comes another question from a newbie on this board.. I have heard the term Iso-Syn from one company, Pennstar from another another and then Trimer Technology from another . What gives, is this marketing hype or is each one a different method of arriving at the same place, good oil?
Thanks in advance

ISO-Syn® is ChevronTexaco's trademarked name for their isocracking-isodewaxing-hydrofinishing process for producing Group II, II+, and III base oils. ChevronTexaco has sold the rights to use this technology to many other refiners, but they don't have the right to use the Iso-Syn name.

As you imply, the name stuff is hype. The results you see on the oil analysis pages are fact.
