Actually there are very precise and scientific tests to rate an oil. Your fingers are not one of them :) This is becoming circular... people pop in and say X is great! It *SMELLS* slippery! I recommend it! :roll:

Most of the engine goo's were putting teflon in their mix. That's one reason they got sued when engines started going buh-bye. And some math a 3MPG increase (from 15 to 18) is a 20% MPG increase. I'm gonna say you have other issues besides oil, or did the math wrong. If that were the case...

Teflon is COMPLETELY USELESS in oil. Teflon is not a lubricant.... and unless you get the part you want the Teflon to adhere to up to about 700F it will not bond to it. And when it does, its pretty easy to chip off. Synthetic oil is not 'cleaner' than dino oil. The additives (detergents)...

I don' think you really researched synthetic oil... you need to look at synthetic oil vs additive packages. As you stated its an ADDITIVE. Not all synthetic oils will have it, and you can get seal conditioners in dino oil and as goo you add in. Its not a SPECIFIC synthetic oil property...

Synthetic oil will do nothing for a seal. If anything, synthetics will seep/weep a little more because they are generally thinner (aka low viscosity). I completely agree with extended change intervals... synthetics use a much better base stock that random oil from the ground. But as with...

You never *have* to use factory lubes. There was a huge lawsuit in the 70-80s about this and no auto manufacturer can demand that you use THEIR product.. only one that meets THEIR specs. I find it HI-LARIOUS that people will research the heck out of a computer, a chain saw, a blu-ray player, a...

You think AMSOIL/LUCAS would have a detailed and concise technical report about the wear reducing properties of their product. I mean, that IS the selling point. Yet I have not see, nor heard of a one. Their web site has jibberish about 'feels faster' and 'best customer support'. What? If...

It may or may not hurt.. but for the added expense I don't see a benefit that has been proven other than by the anecdotal evidence posted on the interwebz. Read some of the AMSOIL Testimonials for a good laugh. People who maintain their vehicles actually had them last longer! NO WAY...
