If your doing a Physics equation. When does using a viable food commodity to produce or provide a fuel supplement be " All Good ". Driving up the price of everyday food products? Diverting food into fuel when there are better more efficient ways to produce supplemental or allternative fuel sources. California's smog Nazi's required a chemical to be added to auto gas for pollution reduction. Saying again and how safe it is. Won't harm anybody or plants or animals. Guess what? It goes through the exhaust cycle likes water gets into living creatures like mercury and surprise WILL cause cancers in humans. Not maybe or highly suspect- bzzzz. Will cause cancer. Every water body in Calif is contaminated. Just one of the state gov't little secrets they don't want you bring up in discussions.

My friend who retired from Butler Chevrolet to me years ago that once you reach over 100,000 miles your oil pan gasket would need to be replaced. continue to use conventional oil
If the rear main seal is leaking the whole engine needs to be rebuilt because of bering scaring which puts metal in the motor, mine did.

Could you explain the reasoning or science or facts that support your statements? Please I'm sure many inquiring minds are waiting to read this.....

When I Quote All Good, Just trying to keep the sanity.

Define "synthetic oil". Group 5 is what caused all the leaks, 99% of what's on the shelf is not Group 5.

Do you mean a GL-5 synthetic gear lube, or some specific Engine oil? Not familiar with " Group 5 ".

It has to do with the base stock.

See 454's post.

Generally the Group 5 stuff is the most expensive. Mobil 1, Castrol, Pennzoil, QS, none of the mainstream stuff is Group 5 AFAIK. Royal Purple, Amsoil, Redline, that's more your Group 5 stuff, but you have to do your homework to make sure.

I was thinking that one of the Euro grades of Mobil1 was Group 5.... or maybe it was the high mileage stuff. It was something I read on BITOG quite some time ago. It didn't stick with me, since I don't put that much thought into oil.

Mobil1 has some GF-5 oil, mostly thinner viscosity.
