Synthetic debate

[AlaskaVX]

I will always use synthetics after I saw a couple tests done locally. First test was to put oil and water into a blender and see how long it takes to seperate oil from water, the Mobil 1 seperated while the normal oil never went back to it's original state. Then there was the pour test at -10F or something the Mobil 1 poured like new and the normal oil came out thick and didn't look like something I wanted in my engine.

Mobil 1 ATF is what shall be then. The crankcase has always had Mobil 1 10W30. At 30K I used an axle product that looked like something florescent think it was redline synthetic. Glad I asked...now convinced. Thanks to all for your time and thoughts.

The water will eventually settle back to the bottom. I have seen it with boats that have gotten water in the oil. With that said , I have used synthetic oil for awhile now and will always use it. There are many benefits to using synthetic oil in cars. As far as the price, it cost me about the same as it would to pay someone to change the oil. So I change the oil myself and use synthetic. To me its a no brainer. shawn
