Royal Purple, got it in the motor, and in the diff. Stuff is great. I swear after swapping diff fluid the car runs so much smoother. Next up will be the transmission.

How is that possible when Pennzoil openly admitted they are using group III base stocks? Weird.

No company will, and I don't understand the big hush hush about it either.

Some companies get their base stocks from a few different sources, I know AMSOIL does.

Because the German Castrol that everyone was raving about has been reformulated. In 2002-2005 it was group IV PAO base stocks, and one hell of a robust formulation. Now it's a group III hydrocracked petroleum base stock, and not what it once was. I missed the days of "Green" Castrol 0W-30, as it was MY oil of choice. When it changed to "Gold" in 2006, I walked away from it.
