[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 10784083, member: 112023"] Thanks Jimmy, I couldn't remember his name. This is one of the guys I mentioned above. Here are some cliff notes for those who have no desire to search for the information. and there you have it folks. A Former Ford engine durability testing engineer who said the "profits" were considered first, and longevity was second. and how about this quote from an investigative article written on the subject. It's taken from this article. [URL="http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/518/motor-oils"]Motor Oils - Fuel Economy vs. Wear [/URL] I want to add a comment to the quotes below: Not actually. True synthetics can give you both, with little compromise. Read below to learn more. It's all in contaminate free universal molecules that provide less friction than inferior base stocks. Using a top tier true synthetic like Royal Purple, Amsoil, or Red Line will not increase catalyst damage due to higher contents of ZDDP. Since they all have lower NOACK Volatility (less burn off/evaporation) they do not contaminate the catalyst with phosphorous any more than a lubricant with lower amounts of ZDDP and higher NOACK. Pay for true synthetics, and you get the best of both worlds with no compromises. You also do not sacrifice fuel economy. It's a WIN WIN situation. This is how I know.
