What is it about "Bad Experience with Supertech 5w-20 Synthetic Oil" that you don't understand?
Let me explain: "Bad Experience with Supertech 5w-20 Synthetic Oil" means
in this case he had a "Bad Experience
which happened to COINCIDE with using Supertech 5w-20 Synthetic Oil"
It does not mean "I had a much worse experience with Supertech 5w-20 Synthetic Oil than I would have had with any other synthetic oil." The OP is leaving that speculative stuff to y'all.
Fixed that for you.
Timing is everything. While I agree that for the OP, his experience with this particular car, at this particular time, with ST syn was bad, it does not necessarily mean that the SuperTech was to blame. The only thing you can say with certainty, is that the onset of leaks happened to coincide with his use of the SuperTech synthetic. It could just as easily have happened with Mobil-1, PUP, QSUD, etc..
Correlation does not imply Causation
As previously explained, there is nothing in the OP's original title or description that implies it
couldn't just as easily have happened with Mobil-1, PUP, QSUD, etc..Up until now, that was just your (over) interpretation.
However, since the OP apparently IS now claiming this, digging a hole for himself (and, by association, me) right where you wanted one (thanks pal, nice timing) this logic becomes irrelevant and I've kind of lost interest in this aspect of the discussion.
