You hear/read 3 basic statements on just about every board:

1. I run synthetics, and it feels faster
2. I run dino oil, and it runs fine

These statements are subjective, biased, and completly without merit to anyone who has a scientific bent.

3. I do periodic UOA's and I learned ......

This is where the money is. Facts and data, proof and disproof. The real deal. For example, I learned semi-synthetic Mobile1 will not last 5,000 miles in my Harley. But Valvoline Blue dino oil lasts a long time in my Cummins TD.

I pretty much ignore statements #1 and #2. But I pay carefull attention to #3.
