-- [ From: John H. Rodgers * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --

August issue of Motor Trends magazine carried an article titled "Synthetic
Motor Oil - Is it worth the price?"

In summary:   Synthetic Oil -  good for extreme conditions.
                     Regular Oil - Good for normal use.
                     Blends - they are O.K.

You can make your own synthetic/regular oil blends that work just fine.

In wear tests there was no difference in performance between synthetics and
regular oils.

Very good article!!
