OK, here's another possibility. I ran Castrol
Syntec in a Honda four road racer for several
seasons and had no problems with it. I first used
it in a BMW road racer which had been running
organic oil. When I changed to the syn, I had to
reset everything because the idle went up about
700 rpm. My guess is, that meant less drag.
When I used it in the Honda, that was a fresh
engine and it never ran anything by syn. I don't
know what the running temperatures were, but the
syn was great stuff. Probably very close to what
Mobil 1 is.
