Secondly, the body of tests out there that show consistent, repeatable gains is considerably large, and I would say, significant. It's not always 6 hp, since it really depends on the engine, and of course the best gains come when the whole drivetrain is converted. But, geez.
Somebody said synth is "overkill." I suppose that's true for some, and dino is fine for most drivers. But I'm a devoted convert.
Then maybe you should run some 0-20 oil (if that exist), I mean it's going to be a lot thinner and you'll have less power loss to friction by the oil. Why not? And show me consistant result from dyno runs with absolutely nothing changes other than switching from dino to full synthetic oil, under the same temperature/humidity/time of day/facility.
