Has anyone poured synthetic into a varnished engine and had all of the varnish come off in one OCI? Impossible you say? I don't think so. I think there's a mean synthetic out there that will do just that; it's just a matter of finding out which one it is. There could even be several oils that will do that.
What about some of these stories I've read here on BITOG about someone trying synthetic out for the first time and having the oil turn black because of its cleaning ability? I would be highly interested in hearing some more stories like that; and I think some of you would be interested too.
Here's the deal: for me to choose a synthetic oil, it would have to be based on its cleaning ability, because the long drain interval aspect does not interest me. The oil's ability to clean an engine and to keep it clean, would be for me, the deciding factor.
