I'm just now err...starting to have fun now that I've broken in the motor gently and I do plan on autocross this spring.
The specs don't look too terrible at all but I'm extremely picky as it is a high performance application. And it's so much cheaper than the other syn blends at my price.
I will also note that I have exactly 1337 miles on the car. The reason I bring this up is that obviously I'd like to get the break in metals out asap
Why are syns recommended world wide? I always wonder what exactly is syn oil these days. Todays oils are so good as compared to the oils from the 1960, 70 ,and 80's
