    Synth. Oil has only 11% the BL Wear as Conv. Oil

    http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/07/f17/ft014_qu_2014_o.pdf, on page 12, "Rolling-sliding bench tests on MTM2 at GM". Forget the IL stuff in there for now, although its cool and has been discussed on these forums a bit. That is the first time I've seen a comparison between a conventional...
