OK, I hate it when people ask me on group 5 oils. That is one I dread. It depends on what you are doing, racing, diesel etc.
Amsoil Series 3000 5w30 is heavy concentrated with Group 5. Amsoil 15w40 HDD&M are a blend of group 4 (PAO) and Group 5 (esters).
A group 5 is the best oil but sometimes it is not needed. Sometimes they are good for other fueled cars but not for weasels or gas. Sometimes the group 5 are great but the additives are low per say.
I have not talked about some Group 5 since I think they are over priced and you do not get more for the straight group 5. I would rather have a blend of both, 4/5.
Some groups 5 are: *A liter is not a qt , but smaller*
Redline (mostly ester with normal Lubrizal additives) $8 per qt
Amsoil 3000 (POA and Esters), $8.5 retail but dealer is like 20+% cheaper.
Motul 300v ($13 per liter)-poor shear though and low flash point
Fuchs Silkolene (no clue)
Neo ($8.50 per qt to $10 online)
Maxima (bike oil at $10 per liter)
Kemopro
VP racing ($10 per qt)
Castrol SLX 0w-30 ($18 per liter)
You can get any oil these oils online. The best bang for the dollar is Redline & Amsoil. There is no best oil for all applications. For roads car/trucks, these are the two I would select due to the price you get them for. I am not saying they are the best oils ever, but for the price, they are the best oil out there. Also must note most 100% group 5 are racing oils
The group 3 are ok oils, not the best. You will need to drain them sooner then group 4/5. Your B series will last 25 years with a group 3; however, you will get added protection/benefits from a 4/5. Also the jump up to a group4/5 is not much from a group 3.

Mike, if you changed the Rotella Synthetic at say 7500 miles per manual, wouldn't it be all right or do you think the motor would have more wear than a group 4 or 5?
Also I get the idea you don't like Mobil 1, why?
Would you mind giving a run down of group 4's that you would run in a Kubota, and diesel Ford?
Thanks,
