one thing i do NOT like about mobil 1 is the cost!!! :blink:
so i'm trying to be a cheap ass and go with 'dino oil' 30 instead of full synthetic 5w30 in the summer..
i'm thinking.. 'dino' straight weight 30 has 'better' resistance to shearing than 'dino' 5w30 for sure since it doesn't have to flow like 5 weight oil when cold.. but.. would a full synthetic 5w30 have equal/greater shearing resistance than 'dino' straight weight 30 because synthetics just have 'better' shearing resistance than 'dino' oil??
like.. i'm thinking.. full synthetic 5w30 is the 'very expensive all season tire' of oils and the straight 30 is the 'azenis sport' of oils.. much cheaper but equal to or greater than performance than the expensive stuff because its a 'specialist' type product
anyone with some more tech wanna weigh in?
