- mobil 1 was originally a synthetic hydrocarbon, new formula I don't know.
- castrol is ester based (good base oil) but I think it's been cut with

- More interestingly, Castrol sells 3 types of synthetic engine oils here:
-
- GTX (now GTX2)
- Neutron
- Syntron (believe this is Syntec in US)

- Anyone know what the differences are? For what it's worth, GTX and Syntron
- are about the same price of the new Mobil 1, Neutron is slightly cheaper.
