None.

No. Pennzoil was kind enough to make a FAQ on BITOG.

I believe in Pennzoil's Q&A they answered that Ultra is all Group 3.

Esters are not a requirement for an oil to be good.

Castrol says it does, but at what percentage is a complete mystery.


edit....correction, checked the site, they claim Edge contains PAO as part of the base oil.

 

[stranger706]

Sounds like you need some Redline.

When I try to open the Pennzoil Ultra FAQ, it is blank.

 

[jdog]

Sorry, please note my correction. They claim it contains PAO, not esters. Sorry for the confusion, I hadnt read it in a long while and went back just now and checked their site again.

The grp III only in PU is suspect to me. I really wonder if it has some AN's in it that they failed to mention.

If you want ester get redline....I really like redline and I really like Ultra

 

[Bruce T]

Yes, obviously they can't disclose everything, but it's still the best and most thorough FAQ I've ever seen on any oil (easily better than Mobil 1's FAQ). They should check #9, which says VOA is "Viscosity Oil Analysis" instead of Virgin. Nevetheless, I think they've done an absolutely outstanding job with this FAQ.

Many think otherwise - good oil cannot be done without esters / pao cocktail and group III oils cannot be synthetic.
