I'm quite happy to lean somthing new but just telling me something is FACT in the manner of of a priest preaching the bible to the uneducated is meaningless to me.

Sorry but I see no shred of evidence in your claims. 40 years ago it would have been correct but not in the 21st century.

Castrol has been part of BP plc for the last 10 years a company cited as one of the ten worst corporations in both 2001 and 2005 based on its environmental and human rights records.

Fortunatly in Europe it is still illegal to call a mineral oil, however refined, synthetic. It's only America where common sense gives way to coporation power, in this instance at least.
