Testosterone: The New Synthetic Oil

[goliath1812]

Low T can be a real problem, and before all of the advertising many people had no idea about it. What's the problem with informing the masses?

I also still don't understand your hate of synthetic oil. Being able to run it for much longer vs. Dino oil is good enough to make the switch....for me.

synthetic oil, although better, doesn't mean you can run it longer. You should still change your oil depending on your driving conditions and MFG schedule.

^ yea you still need to change it at regular intervals, the oil its self doesn't break down but the additives do. Driving conditions for everyone except interstate only trucks are considered sever driving conditions and need to be changed at the lower end of the change bracket. only BMW and Mercedes make oil that goes for higher mileage(20k) but they have $600 oil changes.

You're saying that even with synthetic oil, Yaris changes are still required every 5,000 miles? I'm not doing that, my last change was with over 7,000 miles on the oil, and I had plenty of additive left. I definitely wouldn't be trying to go 7,000 miles on dino oil without a change.

Your filter wasn't designed to hold that much junk before it's filled. I'm not sure how it'd be with extended run filters.

I did a 10k KM run with my RoyalPurple oil and either toyota filter or fram extended filter i forgot which. The car really felt heavy and didn't want to move by the time i hit 10k (that's about 6200mi)

Anyways.. I have company cars (mazda 2 and mazda 3) that hit 15k km.. 9k miles before oil changes and still doesn't show any apparent problems. no oil consumption after 4years and 100000k km

SMH. A fool and his (or her ) money are soon parted.........But then I think renting exotics to drive on a track (isn't this still available in Las Vegas?) is a good idea . To each his/her own re what is foolish, I guess.
