I try to ignore the stellar UOAs for many dino oils thinking that spending the extra money on a GC or PP or M1 or XD will stand my car in good ie better stead down the road. I have the secret but definitely unsubstantiated hope (that's why I have kept it secret
...until now ) that using a superb quality syn has benefits not necessarily shown in a UOA. even if the oil is changed every 3 k miles. There I said it!
