[QUOTE="cootbruce, post: 232, member: 40"] I have read that not all synthetic oil is infact full synthetic oil. Only a percentage of the oil has to be made of synthetic material. Mobil is the only one makine 100% synthetic oil.....regardless, it is good stuff. What really sold me on it...I was searching google for Mobil synthetic oil and came upon a Harley motorcycle discussion board. A guy on the board works for a company that has an oil analyser (sp) he tested his Harley brand engine oil after 3000 miles and found 10% depletion of the oil ( don't know how the test works...but it told him the oil was losing its protective properties) he changed to mobil 1 and put 6000 miles on the bike, tested the oil and found less than 1% loss of protective quality. That impressed me.....Then, I have a off road vehicle that was running way to hot ( 230 degree oil temps) I was going to install a oil cooler, but tried the synthetic oil first, I have yet to run higher than 180 degrees. That really sold me on it. Only problem I have is that I treat the stuff like gold. At $5 a quart, I hate to see any waste or leaks...... [/QUOTE]
