I was trying to stir things up because I still cant beleive you can market grp-iii mineral as synthetic. take care.

Might be wrong but isn't Amsoil's XL series base 3? It's probably their no. 1 seller.

Ever heard any gore stories on Lucas 5w-20? ACEA rated A3/B4, don't know if it's base 3, 4 or 5. A buddy of mine just switched to it after using Amsoil SS 0w-30 (A5/B5). He's supposed to run 5w-20 in his Ford and didn't want Amsoil's 5w-20 (A1/B1)...A1/B1 seems to be the standard for a lot of 5w-20s.
