It does appear that most non-GrpIII synthetics combine pao with poe or other polymer esters in a mix.
I just got Joe Gibbs HVL oil which is 1/2 mPAO, 1/4 POE, and 1/4 GroupIII, so all 3 synthetics are there.

Reading, as best I can, a Penrite Racing MSDS, it looks to be about up to 60% PAO in the 10W40 version. So not majority ester.

I don't know if any commercial engine oil is majority ester.

I tend to follow the specs of the finished product as a sign of quality, I look for stuff like A5/B5 or A3/B4 or BMW LL-01 or Porsche A40, etc. This is a real test of the finished product, which is more than just the chemistry of one component.

Motul 300V ester core is HC-oil with <=10% of group V.

What's wrong the website.

Penrite is excellent oil, too. If it was still import into the US, I'd use it.


Can't open the pages on Android.
