Oil Article

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

I read the post about Consumer Reports' article on oils - which I 
HAVE read.  They said (paraphrased) that synthetics may be of benefit 
for cars engines used in heavy or extreme service.

I suggest to you folks that ANY vehicle with a turbocharger 
automatically qualifies.  The heat and demands of a turbo are such 
that IMO (and it ain't Humble in this respect) that running anything 
but a synthetic in a turbo engine is UNwise!!

Unfortunately, I think that the conservative nature of the Consumer 
Reports folks will discourage many people who should be using
synthetics from doing so.

Says the infallibleleler, uh, infallibbbble, duh, infallible moi......
