I have been involved with oil testing and production for years. As a matter of fact I am a certified lubrication specialist. I have heard a lot of good comments here, but I contend that synthetics are definitely the way to go. The country is supplied by a bunch of little oil production jobbers, who mix the components together in their plants. You get bare minimum additive additions. Just like gasoline if you buy an 87 , that is what it is. Oils are bought on the spot market, they meet a class requirement, which is defined by their physical testing ranges. The actual oil makeup, such as paraffin, olefin and aromatic content varies quite a bit, depending on where the oil came from. With the synthetic you don't need an Amsol, etc. All that is, is an additive pack anyway, so you are just putting in extra additive and you pay for it, just like you do for a synthetic. You get what you pay for, so why are we hot on a attacking the word "synthetic". It is derived from petroleum, but molecularly rearranged. That is what it is. Are we simply venting?
