Don't know but maybe these modern engines were designed to work with

I have been laying back and watching this thread--and I do agree that
the synthetic is very slippery----and just might prohibit the rings from
seating--
BUT-------
How do the rings seat in a new Corvette?
How about in a Porsche?
Both these cars are delivered with syn oils in them----
Went for an exhilarating ride in my friend's new twin turbo Carrerra
yesterday.
It didn't shift out of second until it was at 127 mph !!!
Awe inspiring----
Now if I could only shoehorn that engine into my GL-----
By the way, and I thought this was unusual--the oil weight recommended
for the engine is 0w-40--year round---
Really wild--
Later,
Terry
