Oil threads
I have read Oil threads on truck forums, car forums and motorcycle forums. And I have concluded from all that I have read is that its all just "Snake oil".
Over the last 25 years I have never had an engine fail due to oil in anything from a lawn mower to my new Toyota Tundra or any of the 12 motorcycles I have owned and ridden thousands of miles. I don't believe all the hype put out about any of these oils. I use the basic oil and have do not pay extra for the "synthetic gold" or Amsoil. I have also concluded that not being a chemical engineer it's impossible for me to make sense out of any of the fine print promoting these "snake oils". But if using synthetic makes one happy, why its your money. So thats my story on oil and I am sticking to it.
