I agree. A local engine builder I know told me he has never seen an engine failure caused by the oil being used. Lack of oil, air in the oil and overheated oil -- yes. Even these are rare, usually i

When I was a pretty newly minted mech engineer I took a graduate level course in bearing lubrication. Came out of it with a big attitude. Took the rest of my career to realize just how complex this s

A "synthetic" that is not built on a Group 4 base is a waste of money because it can't match a Group 4 oil's ability to flow at low temps or it's resistance to extreme high temperature. Today, if yo
