[QUOTE]Originally posted by CustomFastbackCA: [QB] Ya I know what Sawson was saying, just don't like it. "In 1996, in a race at Sears Point, the team got graphic confirmation that synthetic oil was the right choice. During this race, the oil cooler got plugged and at lap 20 the oil temperature rose to 315 degrees F. At that temperature, mineral-based oil will fail, and thus the engine will fail. However, since synthetic oil was being used, this engine completed the entire race. The engine was down on power, but when it was torn down there was no visible evidence of engine wear due to overheated oil. 'The survival of this engine with the oil temperatures at 315 degrees confirmed to us that synthetic oil is the way to go,' said Santanicola." Fact 2: "Airplanes now function only on synthetic as regular oil breakes down cuasing severe engine wear within minutes" Fact 3: from two sources I found that synthetic lowers engine temperature by 10 to 30 degrees depending on the application, though I have not proved this myself. Fact 4: Synthetics increase fuel economy 2%-5%. Fact 5: F1, Nascar, Dragsters, pro-street, super-street, european touring class, all use synthetics...not coincidental. Still looking for information, but for high performance, synthetic is better, don't use your car as example again because it is not high performance :) . Am I getting closer? [/QB][/QUOTE]
