Right but even amongst basestock manufacturers, some may be better than others.
As this is a price point lube, the question is what has given? Its not a huge seller, has little shelf space, so likely doesn't have economies of scale on its side.
So what has given?
Or can we truly say that no name price point manufactured dex vi is the absolute same quality and performance across its lifecycle as a fluid from pennzoil or valvoline, for example?
Try reading SAE 2005-01-3859 by Jack Zakarian if you want to know how close Group IIs are to one another. Since that was written they are even closer!
I meant Group IIIs, but it was early so that's my excuse.
