WOW !!!!! A lot of MYTH going on here.........
For starters..... It has been Proven that a PAO or Ester Based Synthetic WILL Increase HP and or Fuel Mileage...
Molecules in Synthetic are not Smaller, they are a precise Engineered Molecule.
You Can switch from Synthetic to Petroleum and back again at any time.
There are no Seal Compatibility issues when using a Premium PAO Synthetic...

There is no doubt that AMSOIL is the best on the market... That is why I have sold it for over 24 yrs now.
2nd best would be Mobil 1 EP... Make sure it is the EP... That is Mobil 1's best...
Just saying Mobil 1 doesn't do it....... That is almost like saying give me a Soda...

lol IE Vs. Netscape, Apple Vs. PC, Apples or Oranages,
It comes down to preference,
I have used either Mobil 1 at regular intervals and in recent years Extended Performance and change my oil in all my cars at 22,000km. and the lancer at about 15k
My Honda 550,000km and still going
Mazda has 250,000km
The lancer has already 34,000km on it and it has only been like 9 months. I put alot of milage on my cars, but I have yet to have an engine fail on me. When the honda was getting upgraded performance, mechanic swore I had it rebuilt recently before that. Stock parts man!!!
to each his/her own

Which goes right back to my Statement of, All Synthetics are not alike and Oil is Not Oil..
Although I will say, that for some reason or another, there are some engines that do "like" one oil over another. This is whether they are Subaru, Mits, Chevy, Ford or the Massey Ferguson tractor in the farmers field....
Nothing Specific about either the Brand of Equipment or the Brand of Oil.... Just a quirk..

dont take this the wrong way but I would appreciate proof of these claims, I am getting my info (molecule sizing) from my friend who is a petroleum engineer with CNRL, I would bet he would have to really mis-understand my question to steer me wrong.
We went to school together so I know that he understands his stuff, I just dont know petroleum as much as I took electrical.

I know a few Tribologists... I will ask them....
As far Synthetic leaking because it is thinner or smaller molecules, Myth..
A Synthetic will leak usually if it is a PAO w/Esters or Ester Based Product as it cleans out where a Petroleum oils with their Paraffin has coagulated with dirt that built up..
When it comes to seals, Seals may leak slightly as they are cleaned out and then stop as they are softened again. Oils use a Seal Swelling agent and AMSOIL uses a higher amount of this.

but anything beyond that, its really hard to prove the claims.
If there was something out there that made more sense then what I am using, I would use it. or at the very least test it and evaluate it. lol but I am not going to do one of those extreme wear commercials like Castrol does. lol thats like me doing this to my car
