Rather dishonest to say that the 'Entire lubrication world went to Gr 3, except Amsol and XOM.' You need to practice saying the word 'Redline' when you talk about esters and GrV stocks. Further, there is strong evidence that XOM and others do include modest amounts of Gr5 stocks in their products.
@geonerd Agreed, Red Line Synthetic Oil Corp has been producing PE polyol ester (POE - group V) base stock street and race oils for YEARS. Red Line admits to using PAO (group IV) in their oils to keep seal swell down since POE is such a highly polar lubricant with inherent solubility and seal swelling characteristics, but POE is their primary base stock.
XOM slide shows indicate that they do still use Group V components in their oils, but rather than a polyol ester or diester they are using alkylated naphthalene (AN's) as a polar/soluble correction fluid. They have some of the desirable traits of the esters, but not all, and not to the same degree. ANs are much cheaper than esters.
@JayzBeerz Search *any* oil companies website using Keywords --> Product Data Sheet. Now go to the company you mentioned and search. Note what you don't find.

So is he saying that Amsoil and Mobil 1 oils are the ones to get if you want the best? Where does Royal Purple stand as far as group oils?
