I found this while surfing the web. It is a 4.3MB PDF for those with slow connections it may take a while.

It was scanned in from some magazine, basically these guys run a pretty thorough test on 18 brands of fully synthetic and synthetic blends of motor oil.

The results really surprised me!!!! I really am considering switching my favorite oil [Mobil 1 Supersyn)

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

Well, any syn shouldnt eat seals anymore. As I was looking for an unbiased review I came across a bunch of stuff about how syn oil used to eat seals. But that was like 20-25 years ago. As time went on, the tech behind syn oil has gotten better, and the eaten seals problem was resolved ( or so I assume). BTW, I did come across this big ol PDF file that some guy had wrote up regarding oil. Apparently Amsoil is rated as the best...and every other "independent" test I read on states the same thing...looks like I might want to make the switch then.
