basically, a term called 'coking' ,,im sure it has a bit to do with some
partied out racers in the glory days, but regardless, powdered oil isnt what
i want in my motor and is supposedly the result of a wide viscosity range in
motor oils.  i can recall reading it in one of corky bells books and then
went on researching through google to verify truth and found many links.
this is why racecars run straight oil values.  i wouldnt say anythings
really wrong with wide spread synthetics,, surely it has a lot to due with
driving habits/conditions/application but from what ive read, boosted and
even more so heavily boosted applications dont jive well with say, a 0w/60.
and i should mention that my current blood consisting of AMSoil
diesel/marine 15/40 and a half a quart or so lucas stabilizer has reduced
consumption and has a cleaner dipstick than my typical 2k+ miles later.

two more, //brian
