Hi folks-
All of the below aside, good lube, easy start, cleanliness and all, but I also
understand that synthetic oil (SO) shrinks seals. A common problem that
becomes costly evident with RX7 owners that use SO after a period of time.
Even though I still use it in both LBCs cars, does any one have any solid
insight into this?
Thanks.
Pouya

Based on experience- there is value-- ease of starting, decreased wear,
decreased friction?, Should be good for turbos-doesnt coke at higher
temps than mineral oil
Based on lower viscosity @ lo T & higher viscosity @ hi T, with less
breakdown--
should be better for extreme conditions--desert & artic as well as racing
worth the extra cost?
-- your call-- i think so
