while I on a rampage, nether oil base by itself is worth a crap till you put in an additive package. Both will pass or fail the tests based on the package, so bottom line is the base is not a factor any more in most cases. If you go to outer space or something really weird, then the base oil will be more important, but in the tractor, car, and truck world, the additive package can now make a quasi group II oil perform at a very high level. Most companies have moved to mix of group II/group III oil bases to get the job done and save money on the cost of product. Group IV bases are usually reserved for the idiots with more money than sense. It rumoured that even mobil one is now a mixed base oil as the additive package make it pass all the wear tests.
You need to concentrate on the wear tests, each type and see which oils pass, and not worry about the base oil or what day of the week it is.
