Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

A lot of people don't realize that Castrol is now owned by BP.

Castrol is famous for producing the first Group III hydrocracked mineral oil and to call it synthetic in their marketing (instead of using only Group IV PAO and Group V Esters). Now, most synthetics sold in the USA are Group III, although Mobil 1 has a blend of Groups III, IV, and V. Not sure about Castrol Edge with Titanium.

Pennzoil Platinum has a relatively new formulation that now comes in two different motor oils. Both are Group III made from natural gas using a process pioneered by Shell:

Pennzoil Platinum with PurePlus Technology

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum with PurePlus Technology

Those crazy Germans in the 40s had that technology down cold.
