while I on a rampage, nether oil base by itself is worth a crap till you put in an additive package.

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.
