Who's running Clean 7500?

700 ! ? ! ?

Was that a particle streak or a boulder?

Keep us posted....

To the previous post: The price does lead you to think about the true content in the 7500.

I'm no expert on the cost of various basestocks but with some of the prices you are naming, I have to question that this is a group III oil with some PAO. Common sense dictates this question......doesn't it? Some of the SM Group II's are running in the $1.60 - $1.85 per quart range nowdays. How do you get a Group III + 20% to 30% PAO for 2 bucks in this world? THe group III allegations are most likely just that.................rumors and unbacked allegations. The price says that this is group 1 plus PAO or maybe even group 1 with a lot of group III. Has Mobil even said there is PAO in it?

It was reported earlier that Mobil, with the size and scope of their operations, can produce PAO at about the cost others have for Group III.

Thanks Ugly 3,

If that's true, then the $64,000 question becomes, can they or anybody else profitably produce and sell straight Group III for $2.15 a quart. I doubt it but as I said, I'm nobody's expert on production costs for any of these lubes. If 7500 is really all Group III and above, it is the deal of the centruy for lubricants.
