Re: What's the word on sythetic oil?

I was talked into using a synthetic many years ago by my old mechanic. He's passed on now, but at the time of his recommendation he was well into his 60s and had been repairing/rebuilding cars all of his life.

His specific recommendation was Mobile One. It was his opinion after rebuilding many motors that this oil was the cleanest and best lubricating of the bunch. Of course that may have changed by now, but I've been running Mobil One for a lot of years and have yet to lose an engine. Transmissions...yup, engine no.

Just the mess that a petroleum based oil makes of an old motor is enough to make someone switch. It's just my stupid opinion...as usual.
