Mobil 1 5w-30 is not full synthetic just 30%, Castrol Syntec has no synthetic in it, Valvoline Synpower has no synthetic in it - what "full synthetic" are you running? IN North American market, synthetic oil doesnt have to be real synthetic. Pretty much a joke - on us. High detergent / long drain "synthetics" can and do show higher engine wear than your 2 buck a litre conventional petrol oil. The detergents compete with the extreme pressure boundary additives (zinc compounds). High detergency is not a plus on a passenger car or race car.
