All this talk about Synthetic Vs. Dino, no one comes up with the main difference between the two.
Film Strength=Lubricity.
What would be the film strength of a group I oil?
Group II?
Group III?
Group IV?
Group V?
This might shed some answers why one lubricant is more slippery than the other, but not slippery in the sense as it slides faster, or better, but more on the theory that a higher pressure lubricant will need less additives if it's film strength is higher.
As we know the famous aftermarket additves namely prolong and the like conatin clorinated parrifins, which have a very high film strength, hence the reason they work so well, of coarse all of the harmful side affects are why those lubes don't work.
Lets see if anyone can find the information that I have referred to at the top of this. I truley don't know what the film strenghts of those base stocks are, but I would gander a guess they are not all the same.
