Let me try to clear all the haze and obfuscation/diversion etc., from the air.

My assertion is that Synthetic Oil is superior to Conventional

To illustrate, itemize the things oil does

Prevents metal-to-metal contact
Reduces wear from such contact
Reduces friction
Removes heat
Prevents corrosion
Maintains a film during idle times to protect during startup
Keep engine clean and free of deposits
Withstands damage from excessive heat


In all these characteristics, Synthetics win - hands down.

You can go on about Caterpillar, or other people and what they recommend or not if you wish, but that is mute.

In a head-to-head, characteristic by characteristic competition, Synthetic wins - period.

Sorry to use the "chump" word.
No one will probably argue the "tiny details"...find that ONE PIECE OF DOCUMENTATION yet that proves anything?
