Re: synthetic motor oil bad???????

Michael,
Your friend is a bit full of %$#@, personally I do not use synthetic oil at
present time but I can verify to you that synthetic oil make a HUGE
difference in extreme cold weather!!!!!!!!!! synthetic oils do not gel like
conventional oils. I use to own a diesel Jetta and a 5K turbo diesel and
can tell you that the synthetic oil made  all the difference between
starting or not!
I think you (and your friend) are about to start another "synthetic oil war
in the list", this time I will just watch (last time I started it!). We
have some list members that believe in synthetic oil so strongly that maybe
they should start the synthetic oil religion!!!!
The main religion will be "the Mobil 1 " religion (most followers) with
smaller sects like "Amsoil" "red line" etc.
Now guys and gals please do not beat on me too hard!!! (try to take it with
a bit of humor, and use whatever oil you feel like).
I end this post with deep sympathy to all my Q list friends (including all
of you synthetic oil users, you know who you are, and especially to Psycho
Bob).
