Re: Mobil 1 & Semi-Synth

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

What I meant was that, if the car is new, like my dads A6 or friends A4
then I would run pure synthetic.  IF it is used and  NA then I would use
the semi-synth to aid in cold starting and better lubrication.  IF it is
used and Turbo-Charged, I will take my chances witht a leaky seal and run
a full synthetic due to the heat that the Turbo tries to BAKE the oil
with.
