[Shotimes] AMSOIL By-pass filter

[Donald Mallinson]

Ron,

You are entitled to your opinion, but a LOT of experts in 
the industry know that Synthetic does help reduce wear in a 
motor.  It is just fine for SHO cams and shims.  Nothing 
exotic in the setup.  If you knew oil you would know that 
film strenth is what helps keep parts apart, and a good 
synthetic is MUCH better in that respect than regular oil.

I like the better hot AND cold characteristics of synthetic, 
and even with the cost of oil analysis, I can keep my costs 
with quality synthetic about the same as using cheap dyno 
juice every 3000 miles, and I don't have to crawl under the 
car but about 1/3 to 1/5 as often, that means something to 
me if not you.

Flame away, we will agree to disagree, but I believe in 
synthetic and I have enough proof to  convince me that I am 
doing the right thing.

Better filtering is always a good thing, after all the other 
costs of these cars (or any modern car you keep beyond 
warranty) a puny 100 bucks or so for top notch filtering and 
a few bucks extra for the best oil is NOTHING!
