Kingofsorrow3: The Rise of Draven
He flies through the night
from the edge of the deep green sea
He flies like a raven
at MFC
He flies like a crow
to our cyber safe haven
he flies like a raven,
he's draven
For so many years,
he's flown in his life
searching for meaning
in the world in his eyes
searching for hope
in humanity
till finally he's found it
in our community
He's finally found
something to release in
He's finally found
something to believe in
He's finally found
a place that is timeless
He is like the raven
and he's rising...
Every night he falls
scream the animal scream
Every night he falls
dream the crow black dream
dream the crow black dream.

Every day I live, how I wish to be free
Forced to live this life led by cruel reality
Everything I need is right here with you
Leave the world behind, that is all I want to do
But whenever I
Close my weary eyes
Suddenly I can see
Your tender face
Smiling for me
Ah, my love, til the day that I fall
Deep in sleep that will be eternal
Let your smile be my comfort and guide
Let that smile always be by my side
Ever does mankind find reason to be sad
How easily we keep forgetting what we have
For what you should love
For what gives you love
And the joy it does bring
For the sake of love
Give your everything
Ah, those days when our love was so new
Innocent we were shy and confused
Oh, how we took the long winding way
And how we caused each other such pain…
But whenever I
Close my weary eyes
Suddenly I can see
Your tender face
Smiling for me
Ah, my love, til the day that I fall
Deep in sleep that will be eternal
Let your smile be my comfort and guide
Let that smile always be by my side
Ah, those days when our love was so new
Innocent we were shy and confused
Oh, how we took the long winding path
Ah, but look now and see where we are…

Synthetic has changed in recent years. A little history first....
In the days non synthetic oils were group 1 and group 2 base stocks. These are crude oils and polyphenins. Synthetic was as it was stated group 4 and group 5 base stocks which are PAO and POA esters (man made extreme quality esters which mimic esters once used from whale fat).
Then came the big Mobil 1 vs Castrol lawsuit. Mobil 1 contended that Castrol was using false advertising. Castrol had changed there formulation on there Full Synthetic oil. It NO longer was made from group 4 synthetic base stocks but was indeed made from group 3 base stock which is a conventional crude base stock, then severely hydro cracked and refined. group 3 is much higher quality than group 2 oils. Well it made it all the way to the supreme court were they ruled that oils made with group 3 base stocks are indeed synthetic because of the extreme amount of refinement, it isn't anything naturally occurring anymore. So Castrol was allowed to continue marketing the oil as fully synthetic. After this lawsuit a precedence was set for the definition of synthetic oil, one by one manufacturers started reformulating their synthetic motor oils from group 4's to group 3's , since group 3 is much cheaper to use.
This brings us to today most so called synthetics are just dino oil (conventional). Dont get me wrong the group 3 is far superior to group 2 it has much better flow characteristics in the cold and better resistance to heat. But you still are only using a conventional crude oil that is ultra refined.
Here is a list of the only Oils that are true full synthetic (groups 4 or 5).
Mobil 1, Amsoil, Royal purple, Redline, some Schaffers, some Motul, Valvoline synpower is a blend of goup 3 and 4, Castrol makes (1) full synthetic it is 0w-30 only and has to say made in Germany on the bottle otherwise it is group 3,the bargain oil out there is Valvoline maxlife synthetic blend which is group 4 and a group 2 blend it performs really well at a reasonable price.
ok Now YOU know the difference time to decide,
group 4 and 5 do outperform the others, but by how much ??? Oil has come an incredibly long way. No longer do we utilize crappy group 1 basestocks (at least not much). Now most convevtional oils in fact are group 2 group 3 mixes to meet ever tightening lubricant requirements and tests. The pseudo full synthetics which are group 3 and really good oils, one of the best is Pennzoil Platinum actually probably the best group 3 oil on the market.
My advice is to decide will you extend oil change intervals out 6-10,000 miles to make true use of the true full synthetic, do you subject your vehicle to severe conditions do you start your vehicle in subzero temperatures if so then synthetic may be your thing...........come on over to bob is the oil guy forum and learn much much more about oil........
