You're mostly correct - group 3 base stock is refined from
dinosaurs, but group 4 is fully synthetic, chemically created. I
believe the vast majority of "synthetic" motor oils use the group 3
base stock, but I know there are some using group 4. (Which ones, I'm
not sure.)
Anyhoo, if one word in your reply were changed, from "ALL" to
"MOST", then we are in agreement. :-)
