I disagree. It's all a money game and it costs a ton to run a race team. Since the engines get rebuilt every race, as long as the oil will do the job for the race it really doesn't matter. Now, if there were some competitive advantage to synthetics, it might be different. <snip> > The burden of this argument is on Amsoil, since they claim that >their oil is far superior to Mobil 1, since they have to justify the 50-100% >premium they charge over Mobil 1. Agreed. Mobil 1 has enough in the way of unbiased testimony to win my money. -- Bob United We Stand
