[Dave Morris "BigD"]

I don't know, but the GM engineer's arguments were far more logical and 
full of actual facts than your anecodotal hyperbole.  He addressed why new 
cars are filled with synthetic.  He addressed why a jet engine cannot be 
compared with a Corvair engine.  He addressed what circumstances are ideal 
for a synthetic oil.

Somebody show me a graph of engine wear versus time and I'll decide for 
myself which to use.  Until I see the data, EVERYBODY is just spewing 
marketing hype.
