Ditto on that. There's a YouTube video of a guy who does a pretty scientific
comparison of all kinds of stuff, including one comparing oil filters.
WIX/NAPA came out on top easily (they're the same filter, just different
branding), as they capture more particulates.
Also seem to remember an article I read about oil. Synthetic has perfectly
round molecules that are all the same size, achieving maximum lubricant
property because they act like little ball bearings against each other. Also
didn't break down as fast as Dinosaur oil, which is a bit more anarchic in
structure.
So, with the right filter and the right oil it's just fine to run much higher
mileage on the same change.
All that said, for many years I had run synthetic oil only to find the cam and
tappets had traded materials. Since that engine rebuild I've been using
Valvoline VR1 Racing oil due to it's high zinc.
I would, though, like to get back to a synthetic oil, but not sure which one
has high zinc.
Anybody?
