A mechanic is not an expert on motor oil, he mostly likely knows as much or less than yourself. Next time you see your neighborhood Joe, ask him to define these oil qualities for you,

1. Viscosity Index

2. Low temperature performance

3. High temperature performance

4. Oxidation Resistance

5. Polyalphaolefins

6. Diesters

7. Polyolesters

8. Anti-Foaming agents

9. Detergents and Dispersants

10. Corrosion Inhibitors

And BTW I am not a Amsoil salesman nor have anything to do with them, I just know (thru experience) that Amsoil works best. Mobil 1 is also very good, but a bit behind the Amsoil when you break them down. An excellent Oil Filter is a must as well. Amsoil, and Mobil 1 Filters are the best. I suppose your gonna tell me I work for Mobil now ha smart A**!

Let's get something straight, all Im saying is that synthetic oil protects your engine better than conventional oil. Its not a guarantee that your car will never break down. Only guarantees in life are death and taxes. So before you all shoot me down, just listen for a second, its not as ridiculous as you all think. No hard feelins guys, was just trying to pass along some useful and knowledgable information.
