Did anybody notice on the link to Castrols' web page under the MSDS Castrol stated that ALL
Castrol Syntec was not on your original list of oils with the "new" add pack. I thought it was only the Castrol GTX that had it. Which is it?quote:

It's just their usual, sloppy, inaccurate marketing stuff. I might be slightly concerned, but having been one of "the contributors," and having seen the actual results of the advanced lab work, I know that the statement is absolutely inaccurate as to the GC. Simple as that.quote:

Whoops, didn't finish my post. The MSDS on Castrols site listed ALL grades as systhesised hydrocarbons including the GC 0w30. I wonder how that will sit with the guys hanging out the European oil board?
Didnt slick 50 say that too?quote:

I liked the older commercials where they said that they "drained" all off the oil out of several test engines and ran them until they seized and the engine that had castrol in it stayed running**** good oil right there!
Yep, reminds me of Mark Twain's comment: "there are lies, **** lies, and statistics".quote:

This is true. No motor oil provides *less* horsepower than Syntec either. No motor oil provides any kind of horsepower at all.

The Syntec synthethic utilizes a package that contains a ~40% higher treat rate, but of course it is double the price. and is suitable for extended drains even in severe service. It is my opinion, and just an opinion, that it offers better performance than the Mobil Extended Protection line in normal use, with the caveat that Mobil's PAO formulation would give you better performance in the extremes.

It's amazing how few Castrol Syntec UOA's we have. Has to be the lowest Synthetic in use by BITOG members. (Excluding GC).
Anyone use Syntec 5w-20?
