well as with most daily driver engines its that old statement we used make about another product that was really big at the time....STP! one guy would say how great it is, another would say no diff.....and the crack we used to make was..."if it dont hurt it(the engine)put it in, if it helps it, that good!!!
i was in the air force 1965-69 and i worked as POL, petroleum, oils & lubricants. all of the jet engines took oil, govt spec was MIL 7808 SYNTHETIC OIL.
was alwasy told not get it on your skin, or accidently eat it(say you had some on your hands, and then ate a donut)was really bad stuff to humans. i belive that this auto synthetic aint far removed from that. iam no jet mechanic, but i know no internal combution engine will ever get to the temps that a jet runs, and that was the reason they used a syn oil...most petro based oils would be turned into smoke in a jet.
