I'm not diving into that trap in this thread, sorry. Without the MSDS, it could very well just have some PAO blended into it for all we know.
Technically, I wouldn't dispute the PAO. However, ExxonMobil using the expensive PAO for TGMO 0W-20 or other OEM oils for which the low cost to dealerships is important? Probably a chance of a snowball in Inferno. Not even the TGMO 0W-16 has PAO (but it's GTL) according to the MSDS. M1 0W-16 is PAO though.
If it is already VISOM, how much PAO would it need to skew the results? Probably not much. That's the problem here, it's WAY too much guesswork without any written data from the blender, which in this case, has, at least in the past, been pretty decent about breaking out the CAS #'s in their MSDS sheets.
The other possibility here is that it's just a different VISOM blend. It's not like we have extensive data on Mobil's VISOM product portfolio.
