[QUOTE="RON LAPOINTE, post: 1029781, member: 52764"] Excerpt from Bob is the oil guy site: "Given it was Castrol who was the company to first market Group III oil as "Synthetic" in the US and the fact that there is no set definition by law of what "Synthetic" oil must be in the US, there is no reason to believe that a US produced Castrol Edge product is anything but Group III. I'm sure Castrol Edge EP is their "best" oil produced in the US...since the word "best" is a marketing term and has no legal definition, it's a word you can use for any product. The Belgian and German Castrol (which is not rated as a EP) is different because in Europe the word "synthetic" actually means a group IV or V base stock by law. " [/QUOTE]
