For anyone else wondering wtf 'Carbon Neutral Oil' is, I'll save you a google.

"Shell Helix Carbon Neutral engine oils are made from a 99.5% pure base oil by its Pureplus Technology. It is a gas-to-liquid process that converts natural gas into a pure base oil with stronger molecular bonds. It can be used for engines such as modern petrol engines, diesel engines without particulate filters, and gas engines."

If it's of any help......

Love the psudo-science here!

Natural gas - methane or propane (rarely butane) feed in stocks are converted via the Fischer–Tropsch process which involves a catalyst to a "hydrocarbon wax" with a carbon chain range of 2 carbons to 7 carbons long, vary the conditions will vary the ouput product. This is then converted to a more useable product by further processing (eg: hydrogenation)

The F-T process is being used for replacement fuels for transport, since if the feedstock is from a non-fossil source then the product while is CO2 producing, it is a non-fossil carbon fuel with similar conbustion properties to the fossil equivelant

Yes it is more pure base stock since it is easier to purify a gas stream than a liquid stream. and the fewer impurities will lead to less interferance between the molecular interaction (dipole, van-der-waals, hydogen, ionic, I would not use the word bond)

Is it "carbon neutral" depends on the the source of the nat. gas, the energy required to perform the F-T process and refining steps. Also consider the transport, packing and rest of the carbon footprint aspects.

Blimey, the OP only asked what oil to put in a V8!
