Syntec is not a true synthetic (waste of money)
It has extremely high amounts of ash content (becomes acidic)
Has "active particles" that seek out and wrap contaminents. (read - more crap floating in your oil that shouldn't be there & making the contaminents in your oil Bigger!)
I'm surprised by the fact that Castrol makes a very good conventional oil and then makes junk for a pseudo synthetic... What were they thinking!!! :rolleyes:
