You're right, let's proceed to stick our heads back in the sand. We can pretend the GS didn't happen, the pour points didn't go up, that Mobil representatives don't dodge direct questions, and the price didn't go down on some of their products.
I'm not saying its a bad oil, it was just overpriced relative to the competition. Heck, I bought four 5 quart jugs of it for under $20 each a couple of months ago. I'll use it but I'm not paying more than about ~$4 a quart when I can get QS advanced (or HP), PP, or Amsoil XL instead.
If it were truly a PAO-based oil then Mobil could say something like Amsoil does, which is basically (I'm paraphrasing) that the oils (not the XL line) are PAO based, however, that may change at some point due to advances in base-oils and technology. Mobil refuses to even say that and usually just says their Mobil 1 line of oils are "synthetic based". We all know Group III can be called synthetic by the oil companies. I don't know what better proof we can have than a GS, besides Mobil actually stating it themselves. What is NOT said is sometimes more proof that what IS said.
Anyway, I'll not talk about this anymore because people say they are tired of hearing it; although, there are two current threads about this same subject right now.
