Where sir did you learn that the new oil GM is requiring is synthetic blend? Their ads don't mention it, the containers don't mention it, my GM dealer doesn't know what it is. I suspected that since they mandated to keep the warranty the oil used in your vehicle had to be certified to whatever name they gave their new required oil.
Course I use full syn and don't worry about it. But my point is that the manufacturing OEMs are coming around to the fact that syn lubricants have a place in their products.......about time.
Any idea as to part of the WHY trucks are being sold nowadays with a 100,000 mile power train warranty? That's never been the case in all of history. Course, OEMs didn't load their trannys and differentials with syn oils either. I know Chrysler and GM do it (owner of both). Haven't been around Ford since '98 so I have no idea, but probably so.
I bought a Cummins powered farm tractor back in '07. I wanted to run Shell Rot T 5w-40 full syn in it....a B3.3NA. The reply I got was that my B3.3 would be tickled to have you run it. They said to wait till the end of the 300 hour initial drain period so that the rings and such will have had an opportunity to seat aka wear out (er ah in) a little.
Did you hear that? I have run into that before and if that doesn't mirror the fact that syn is a superior lubricant than that's your short stick. Your money, your equipment, your decision.
I'm convinced and just trying to help others realize what I realized years ago and have been benefiting from for many years. Nuf said. I don't know why I even think of participating in these kinds of discussions. Big waste of time. I guess I stated my real intent.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
