Synthetic oil
All,
First, sorry for the cross post, but I regularly read both, and would like
to get opinions from both groups.
What I'm looking for is a good, independent comparison of synthetic oils.
Being a believer that anything can be proven if you go in with the "right"
attitude, I usually discount manufacturer's comparisons that, surprisingly,
prove their product to be the best. This is especially true when you
consider that most of the ones I've read compare synthetics with
conventional. In following previous posts on synthetics, it appears that
most people's recommendations come from their loyalty to the brand, not
actual comparisons. Brand loyalty is a great way of seeing how good
something is, most people aren't loyal to a product that isn't any good,
but, loyalty also can blind some people to shortcomings. So if anyone out
there knows where I can find an unbiased comparison, that actually compares
apples and apples, please let me know.
Thank you all
Enjoy

PS Amsoil representatives please don't reply. Your product may be as good
as you claim, but I disagree with your marketing tactics, therefore will not
support the organization.

Bill, not to be a smart *** but if you are regularly reading
"alt.autos.4x4.chevy-trucks" there are about sixty posts and opinions about
synthetic oils in the past 3 months. You might try a search for the subject
matter, you're questions may have been answered already.
