PP has such value and performance because they use Shells famous Group III base oils in conjunction with a top notch additive package.

Buster, help me out on this.
I found this MSDS sheet for 5W-30 Pennzoil Platinum and have identified the following ingredients:
Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated light paraffinic
Zinc alkyl dithiophosphate
Molybdenum disulphide
It also says: "Blend of polyolefins and additives"
How do you identify Ester content in Pennzoil Platinum?
