Okay, I've stayed out of this so far, because it has too much to do with something I've done for a living that always turns out to be a touchy subject for a lot of people, but now I can't resist...

Some oil is better than other oils, this is true. Typically, synthetics are better capable of resisting viscosity changes than plain ol' dino. Now for the part that most people rarely accept, or bother to learn for themselves... I can't think of any decent synthetic engine oil on the market that can't last for 50,000 miles. The trick is that they need to be well filtered in order to do so, no matter what engine they are in, and the engine must be kept in proper operating condition.

There's no oil in the world that will magically keep built-up solids from damaging a motor to my knowledge. Nor is there one that will counteract fuel dilution. I don't think the SAE is aware of any, either. That sort of thing requires filtration, among other things, not snake oil. I've read SAE papers dating from as far back as the late 70's that proves this.

I'm not intending to be confrontational, but I am originally from Missouri. Show me the proof. Let's see independent lab results, not inflammatory comments on a forum that only come across as immature.

Here is your chance to prove the oil is the real deal. I'm open minded, and I'm sure a few other folks here are as well. What can you give us?

P.S. I won't hide behind the Internet for anonymity. I'm a real person, and I'm asking for real proof. Provide it, and you'll do your business a big favour.
