sorry fella but i strongly dissagree, i have worked with hydraualics for seventeen years, so know a bit about oils, mineral stock and synthetic stock ARE entirely different, like chalk and cheese and even if you were correct would mercedes, porsche, VW and BMW tolerate having there standard met, printed on the front of the can, i really doubt that, do a google on the standards i have listed i think you will be surprised, just because the latest designer named oil is expensive dont just assume it must be good compared to crap sounding halfords, to me the standard printed on the side of the can is all important not the corporate image of the company
