<VV> Oil For Vairs

[Smitty]

Smitty Says;     I believe the oil Matt is talking about at Wally World is 
the Accel brand which is available in 10-30 and 10- 40  It has the extra 
ZDDP for flat tappet cars.  I don't care if it doesn't make any big 
advertising claims.  It meets API standards and will do everything I want it 
to do.
While talking about API, I would like to mention that is the same standards 
all the synthetic oils meet.  The one thing (let me repeat that) the one 
thing that synthetics do better than conventional oils is remain stable 
under excessive heat.  They are not any greasier. or more slippery or 
capable of maintaing a film under pressure and better than conventional oils 
that meet the same standard.  They don't keep combustion chambers any 
cleaner as long as they meet the same standards for burning ash and 
detergents.
One thing I can gurantee you is that the promotors of such oils are like a 
bunch of religious zealots if you doubt their claimes of superiority.  I 
guess I would too if I were paying through the nose for that questionable 
superiority.
