We probably all agree that for most users,synthetic motor oil is the way to go.
But,synthetic oils are not the ideal oils for some applications.
A perfect example of misapplication would be the Mobil AV-1 incident in the early nineties.
This oil was used in airplane piston engines with less than stellar results-need I say more?
Does anybody remember that incident and the cause of the problem?
So synthetic motor oil is not the best choice in some applications in piston engines .
Are there other cases where regular oils are preferred?
