Apparently none of you have noticed that we have over 600 Mercedes-Benz Diesel owner as loyal customers and about 1,400 more in Europe in Countries like Norway, Russia, Czech Republic, and Italy.

THere even are few owners SHOWN with their vehicles if you look up MB under the "Syn Uses" section.

AS for the web it has benn both created and maintained by Microsoft Front Page Team - so if you do not like it complain to Mr. Gates.

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.

Smells like a spammer.

Just as amature as the website.

You should check for duplicate ISP numbers on registered users. I suspect "SynLube" is somebody else in disguise.....

Yeah most likely. But its not my forum, not my problem.

See if Brian will do it.

i can see whaere there coming from, but i think its stupid.
Even if the oil does last that long, its going to get all ashed and sooted up.Thats the main reason why u change you oil anyway.

My last job was a lubrication chemist. I am no expert but did learn a lot about motor oils. Unless one is driving under severe conditions , such as a desert or north pole, synthetic will be a waste of money. The oil molecule may not break down, but the additives that make the engine last for thousands of miles are depleted after a while, plus the buildup of contaminants. By the way, the W as in 10W-40 means winter viscosity, not weight.

Fully agreed, thats why I use HDEO Delo 400 or Delvac Super, they represent the best value to me price and performance wise and I can afford to change them at 5000 miles interval as well for all my vehicles.

Doesn't it just stand for "Winter" ? And the numerical value is related directly to the cold crank performance at a given temp....
