over 50 % synthetic

[leel]

Citgo claims there 5w20 and 5w30 are over 50% synthetic. That seems to be a good deal for under 2 bucks a qt.


No Citgo bashing please the topic will get closed.

SM oil is SM oil, it's $2 and it's all a good deal. Better than $1 SG/SH oil from years ago. Oil tech has and will progress. It is a fine example of the economics of good science and practical research finding better solutions for less expense.

And about every other month brands with .08% zinc, .07% phosphorus are on sale for $2. If Citgo uses these levels and the every day price is $2, I would buy it when Valvoline's not on sale.

Agree 100%. I still laugh at all the Royal Purple and even Amsoil users who rave about 'less then SM' rated oil or no rated oil!

and Bush isn't tyrannical as well? let's keep politics out of our oil choices.

Politics are banned from this site. Citgo makes motor oil. The site is about motor oil. Therefore Citgo is open for discussion in the context of motor oil, not politics. Anyone who wants to bash Citgo should bash Citgo elsewhere where political discussions are allowed.

Remember when Citgo was Cities Service and was based in Oklahoma? One of the first credit cards I had. I think Motorcraft in 5W20 is almost that much syn and probably better overall.

50% Group III?

"and Bush isn't tyrannical as well? let's keep politics out of our oil choices".

You complain about political statements, then you make a whopper? Comparing Bush to Chavez? What is up with that?

CITGO is a large producer of Group I base stocks. If 50% of the 5W20 and 5W30 are Group III, what is the other 50%?

And I agree with everyone else, let's leave politics out of this. Some of our favorite oils are made by folks that don't like us. Let's just talk about the quality of the product.
