Are you sure you watched the video? They are saying that Synlube is good for 100,000 miles.
Which Amsoil product would you run that long?
Yes I watched the vid......... There are a fair number of people running Amsoil for up to and over 100K out there with a bypass filter.
I don't know if I would on a car under warranty though......
No kidding? I'd be interested to read about these people...where can I see this info?

Actually, I think that the solids are colloidal metal oxides. In particular, I think that a colloidal silver oxide is/was used in one of there formulations. The MSDS lists metal oxides as a product of combustion and does not list any halogenated compounds. I conclude that there may not be any teflon.

From their website:
Product Description
SynLube™ is a synergetic blend of man-made liquid and solid chemically inert lubricants that are thermally stable from -65°F (-54°C) to over 500°F (260°C). The sub-micronic particles of Graphite, PTFE and MoS2 are colloidally suspended in a mixture of synthetic liquid lubricants.

Amsoil used to have a program that was for running the oil for extended drains. I can't find anything about it now though. Sometimes I see vehicles running around that are driven by Amsoil dealers. They have a sign saying they have over 100K on the Amsoil oil.......
I can't find anything on the Amsoil site.

I can't find an MSDS on line. What is the specific gravity?

I'd like to see the sludge build up in the engine after 150K miles!.......(LOL)...

A link to an MSDS is below. It is old, but supposedly the formulation has not changed since 1997 (from Miro Kefurt, SynLube)."

Thanks Johnny, I stand corrected.
Thanks Gmorg.
RELATIVE DENSITY, 15/4 °C: 0.867
No chlorine most likely. I thought that MAYBE this stuff might use some exotic fluorine base oil (Krytox) but that is very heavy. Up around 1.90.
Indeed, the MSDS states:
Quote:
This product is formulated with a synthetic hydrocarbon as the base stock.
So their claims of a totally inert base oil is bogus, from their own documentation. It also shows ZDDP which is far from inert.

Don't think I've ever seen an 8-page MSDS before.

Dazzle them with data!

how much is the filtration for a vehicle using the synlube? were is the catalog? I looked at the site a few years back and I was stuck there awhile, I could not find product application search so I never went back, afraid to look again. anyone seen what Im talking about?

According to the copyright at the bottom of the doc, it is dated 2007.

That just means it was written by a bunch of academics. They used large fixed-width fonts with lots of white space on the page (an old trick to make one's term paper look longer than it really is).
Here is an interesting quote from the MSDS (no sure if anyone mentioned this before):
Quote:
This product is formulated with a synthetic hydrocarbon as the base stock. The Mobil Environmental and Health Sciences Laboratory has tested representative synthetic base stocks to assess their potential adverse effects on human health.
Does that mean they get their base stock from Mobil (now ExxonMobil).

My guess is that it means that Mobil Environmental and Health Sciences Lab did the study.

Yes, but is that Mobil Oil (now part of ExxonMobil). If so, why would Mobil be testing a product that is not theirs?

Nonsense.
Oxidation, which takes place in synthetic lubes more slowly than in conventional lubes, is a break down at the molecular level.
