Ok guys i sent an email a while back to synlube and here is the reply:
"Do you have results of a 4-ball wear test on your motor oil? I couldn't find it on your website and I would like to do some comparing. Also because your oil is 50 weight, how would you rate its performance in turbocharged vehicles. Does it create more heat and friction?"
The only company in the world that promotes 4 ball wear test for motor oil is AMSOIL, the test is not in any International Specification for Motor Oil - it has NO RELEVANCE to engines -- it is useful ONLY for grease tests in ball bearings.
SynLube Lube-4-Life is Colloidal Lubricant, and is not a conventional lubricant so the 5W-50 specification is for "apparent" properties.
Our lubricants have been used in TATRA Paris-Dakar racing trucks which have V12 twin turbo engines (air cooled) that run typically at 325 F oil temperature - SynLube has improved the fuel economy by 7% and reduced the operating temperature by 45 F.
In INNOCENTI MINI De Tomaso Turbo, the turborarger life was extended from typical 18,000 mile life to over 45,000 miles. (DAIHATSU engine sold only in Japan and Italy)
We have several thousand customers with Mercedes Benz Turbo engines. Over hundred of them that have had no oil changes for over 165,000 miles and have over 300,000 to 450,000 miles on the original turbo and engine, so our product is well proven in turbo applications, the current formula has not been changes since 1985 - so if you buy SynLube today, you can expect the same results.
Most other oil companies change formulations every 2 to 3 years, so any past "experience" is totally irreverent, as the oil you buy today has no past history or relevant test data.
