[QUOTE="redzgrider, post: 1368745, member: 38076"] I'm not a purist in application -- I figure the best option is to use any good oil, and change it often. But I don't like it when marketing pretends one thing but does another. Chaps my ass when I see what should be half gallon ice cream containers with three pints. The degradation of the term 'synthetic' was the result of a lawsuit. Mobile sued Castrol for using the term 'synthetic' for highly refined dino oil. The court found that for many criteria (though not all...) the Castrol dino oil performance was similar to the Mobile 1 performance. Grain of salt for it being internet information, but this page sums up a lot of the information I've gleened from long term readings: [URL="https://www.pca.org/news/2015-11-02/synthetic-word-relates-motor-oil"]https://www.pca.org/news/2015-11-02/synthetic-word-relates-motor-oil[/URL] [/QUOTE]
