So you're saying that Mobile One is the best oil?

I said a real true synthetic. As in Redline ect......

Purple wonder, Mobile 1 and such are not real true synthetics. Probably group 3 at best with one minor additive that is synthetic.

I still occasionally work on vintage engines. Most oils today are designed for today's engines. Many things that were used in yesterday's engines had to come out of the oil because they contaminated catalytic converters. A well known cam grinder for vintage engines I know will recommend using Mobil One if a vintage oil is not available.

A good solid oil, yes. A true synthetic nope. Stuff costs like $22 bucks a gallon at walmart.

Most grocery store Olive Oils are synthetic - just saying.
Hope this was a comedic public service announcement. I'd have to agree with the info. Most EVOO's are blended corn oil to cut cost.

Yep... just lightening up focus on synthetics and whatnot's. Good bake-test on any oils/blends (when dealing w/ air cooled small engines) would be to heat it up 180 degrees for 1 hour and see if dark carbon quickly builds up.
