amsoil syn .. or castrol syn if u can't afford amsoil

Castrol Syntec is a Group II type base stock....not full synthetic....they were taken to court by Mobil for this

Mobil 1 Extended is a Group IV using a PAO base stock while Amsoil is a Group V using a diester basestock.

The API considers group IV and above as true synthetics.

In any case I'm not sure if those posting here are making the distinction between Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 Extended (has a gold cap). The latter is really expensive

I've seen this one with the gold cap a few times, but I can't remember exactly where :oops:

Do you know where i can get it or the Amsoil?

^^ Amsoil available at Autonation, El Socorro and the gold cap Mobil 1 I get at various places....not always available. You can try Car Boutique in St James or Lange Eighty in POS ... Lange is the distributor.....in south Gasparillo Auto Supplies and Federal in Tarouba.....these are the only places I usually buy at
