Thanks opieoilman for the detailed posts on synthetic vs petrolium oil.
Question now is what is the BEST synthetic oil you can buy and is there something which is almost as good but much better value ?

There are a lot of good synthetics, In my opinion the best are the likes of Silkolene, Mobil, Fuchs, Redline, of the variety PAO or Ester and ester has the edge over PAO as they are polar. however the value is in the price. Many of these oils suffer marketing hype like the mobil, yes great oil but your also buying a brandname, the redline being american is just an arm and a legg which makes it over priced for what it is. The likes of Fuchs and silkolene are just plain hard to get hold of but great oil for great money.
