Hi Dave,
The 911 Carrera are all over the place, but most are four wheel
drive with bubble fenders with tires wider than the Z06. I don't know
what else has changed.

Re: Oil Consumption 2000 JGC V-8
 
I paid $1 a quart for the Phillips 66 semi-synthetic 10w-30 I've been using
for a year and a half now. Pennzoil 20w-50 sells for $2.68/qt here.

I bought all the remaining stock, of that oil, when a local retailer decided
to drop the Phillips 66 line.

I still have 2 full cases left in addition to the loose bottles on the
garage shelf..

But to use your argument... since synthetic is actually derived from dino
oil then I'm just explaining there are better refined dino oils with
superior properties....

If your argument is carried in another direction you are proposing that we
use crude oil, straight out of the well, in out motors because it requires
less addition energy in its production.

Errata: The current theory is that oil comes from plant decay, it is
probably incorrect to refer to, therefore, as dino spit.

Re: Oil Consumption 2000 JGC V-8
 
1st Google "ester petrochemical" and look at some of the 149,000 hits that
were returned in 0.05 seconds
Results 1 - 10 of about 149,000 for ester petrochemical. (0.05 seconds)

2nd Using AMSoil as a reference is questionable in itself but using your
own reference (and I will quote in part)
"... Further, the SAE Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, an extensively
peer-reviewed publication, states base oils made through the processes used
to create Shell's hydroisomerized basestock, severe cracking, and reforming
processes may be marketed as "synthetic."

From this we gather that the SAE accepts 'purified Group III oils as fitting
within their definition of the term 'synthetic'.

Further on in your reference we find the lubricant industry agreed with
Castrol's position "...In a statement to Lubricants World, Castrol's legal
counsel said, "The NAD's decision was clearly correct. In accepting
Castrol's position on the appropriate definition of synthetic basestock and
concluding that Castrol Syntec is a fully synthetic oil, the NAD accepted
the overwhelming evidence Castrol presented, which included the opinions of
leading scientists . . .and statements from Shell, Exxon, and other industry
sources. "

A bit further in your reference notes ..."The NAD also relied on the SAE's
rejection of a restrictive definition of the type advanced by Mobil".

And concludes..." In fact, although it had the right to do so, Mobil did not
attempt to appeal the NADS's decision."

As for the change in formulations you certainly know that changes are
commonplace, there are many 'name brand' oils that have changed
substantially.... for example I doubt you would use the SB Pennzoil use
originally used in your T-Bird
(http://new.api.org/certifications/en...rd_English.pdf

and another quote from your reference... "
In response to Mobil's contention that Castrol deceived its consumers by not
informing them of the change in the formulation, the advertiser submitted a
statement by Richard Kabel, a motor oil expert. Kabel asserted that motor
oil manufacturers, including Mobil, regularly make changes in their
formulations without disclosing these changes to consumers. He stated that
the industry certification and licensing program is designed to provide
motor oil manufacturers with the flexibility to modify their formulations as
long as the oil continues to meet industry standards,"



Mobil did offer in its lawsuit definitions from two chemistry professors
(Please note: their arguments were rejected by both the lubricants industry
and the court)

"In the complaint filed by Mobil against Castrol's Syntec, the PAO
manufacturer contended true synthetics had to be formulated from small
molecules subject to a chemical reaction, not built from natural petroleum.

Mobil submitted testimony from Professor J.M. Perez, a lubrication and
technology expert from Pennsylvania State University, who told the NAD that
true synthetics require "the formation of chemical products from simple
well-defined molecules by synthesis or chemical reaction." Perez cited
isomerization, reforming, hydrotreating, and hydrocracking as some of the
many chemical and physical processing steps applied to petroleum to produce
a variety of useful products, but said that they do not produce synthetic
products. He argued that hydroisomerization does not create synthetic
material because it does not create or build molecules, but merely
rearranges the same molecules that were present in the original petroleum
fraction.

Professor O.L. Chapman, an expert in synthetic chemistry from the University
of California, also testified that synthetic materials are constructed from
pure compounds that are themselves not natural and that the resulting
synthetic material has well-defined properties. PAO and ester, he said, are
built from pure small molecules that have already been subject to a chemical
reaction, and are not built from natural petroleum. "



The next few paragraphs that Mobile attempted to use against Castrol
actually reinforce the description I gave for how the 'synthetic oil' is
made but then I have the benefit of (compared to a shyster) knowing a little
bit about chemistry and hindsight as this was happening in the late 90s.

Wishing to stay out of Mobil's lawsuits the SAE dropped their definition of
'synthetic'



The ASTM was consulted... "ASTM D 4175 from the American Society for Testing
and Materials. In this case, synthetic is defined as originating from the
chemical synthesis of relatively pure organic compounds from one or more of
a wide variety of raw materials." Please note the phrases "relatively pure"
and "wide variety of raw materials" and refer back to my definition of
synthetic.



Chevron management has been quoted... "What we really think will come out of
this decision is an awareness that several types of stocks, particularly
some newer UCNOs, justifiably can be considered synthetic and are viable
basestocks for the formulation of top-quality synthetic lubricants. In other
words, the decision sends a message that 'synthetic' is not synonymous with
'PAO'".

Re: Oil Consumption 2000 JGC V-8
 
1st Google "ester petrochemical" and look at some of the 149,000 hits that
were returned in 0.05 seconds
Results 1 - 10 of about 149,000 for ester petrochemical. (0.05 seconds)

2nd Using AMSoil as a reference is questionable in itself but using your
own reference (and I will quote in part)
"... Further, the SAE Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, an extensively
peer-reviewed publication, states base oils made through the processes used
to create Shell's hydroisomerized basestock, severe cracking, and reforming
processes may be marketed as "synthetic."

From this we gather that the SAE accepts 'purified Group III oils as fitting
within their definition of the term 'synthetic'.

Further on in your reference we find the lubricant industry agreed with
Castrol's position "...In a statement to Lubricants World, Castrol's legal
counsel said, "The NAD's decision was clearly correct. In accepting
Castrol's position on the appropriate definition of synthetic basestock and
concluding that Castrol Syntec is a fully synthetic oil, the NAD accepted
the overwhelming evidence Castrol presented, which included the opinions of
leading scientists . . .and statements from Shell, Exxon, and other industry
sources. "

A bit further in your reference notes ..."The NAD also relied on the SAE's
rejection of a restrictive definition of the type advanced by Mobil".

And concludes..." In fact, although it had the right to do so, Mobil did not
attempt to appeal the NADS's decision."

As for the change in formulations you certainly know that changes are
commonplace, there are many 'name brand' oils that have changed
substantially.... for example I doubt you would use the SB Pennzoil use
originally used in your T-Bird
(http://new.api.org/certifications/en...rd_English.pdf

and another quote from your reference... "
In response to Mobil's contention that Castrol deceived its consumers by not
informing them of the change in the formulation, the advertiser submitted a
statement by Richard Kabel, a motor oil expert. Kabel asserted that motor
oil manufacturers, including Mobil, regularly make changes in their
formulations without disclosing these changes to consumers. He stated that
the industry certification and licensing program is designed to provide
motor oil manufacturers with the flexibility to modify their formulations as
long as the oil continues to meet industry standards,"



Mobil did offer in its lawsuit definitions from two chemistry professors
(Please note: their arguments were rejected by both the lubricants industry
and the court)

"In the complaint filed by Mobil against Castrol's Syntec, the PAO
manufacturer contended true synthetics had to be formulated from small
molecules subject to a chemical reaction, not built from natural petroleum.

Mobil submitted testimony from Professor J.M. Perez, a lubrication and
technology expert from Pennsylvania State University, who told the NAD that
true synthetics require "the formation of chemical products from simple
well-defined molecules by synthesis or chemical reaction." Perez cited
isomerization, reforming, hydrotreating, and hydrocracking as some of the
many chemical and physical processing steps applied to petroleum to produce
a variety of useful products, but said that they do not produce synthetic
products. He argued that hydroisomerization does not create synthetic
material because it does not create or build molecules, but merely
rearranges the same molecules that were present in the original petroleum
fraction.

Professor O.L. Chapman, an expert in synthetic chemistry from the University
of California, also testified that synthetic materials are constructed from
pure compounds that are themselves not natural and that the resulting
synthetic material has well-defined properties. PAO and ester, he said, are
built from pure small molecules that have already been subject to a chemical
reaction, and are not built from natural petroleum. "



The next few paragraphs that Mobile attempted to use against Castrol
actually reinforce the description I gave for how the 'synthetic oil' is
made but then I have the benefit of (compared to a shyster) knowing a little
bit about chemistry and hindsight as this was happening in the late 90s.

Wishing to stay out of Mobil's lawsuits the SAE dropped their definition of
'synthetic'
