	Hi... Wondered if anyone could spare a minute to touch on the pro's and con's of "blended synthetics" ? I've googled; found nothing. Not even what portion of the blend is base and which synthetic. If it makes any difference, I'm in the middle of the prairies, with -40 degree winters and real hot summers. Thanks in advance, and take care. Ken

Both have 150,000 plus miles. Neither burns more than a quart between changes, neither motor leaks a drop of oil, both still sound like when they had 50,000. I like Valvoline.

Add a few drops of Group III 'synthetic' to a conventional 99 cent a bottle motor oil and you get to charge WAY more for it, with the product not being enough better for anybody to notice. In my view, if the percentage of synthetic in a 'blend' was significant enough to matter, the maker would boast about it on the label. None do. I am a fan of real Group IV PAO full synthetics like Mobil1 in situations where they give some benefit, like extreme hot/cold, trailer towing or extended drain intervals. Regards, Al.

I've used Mobil 1 for years, and would never go back to conventional oil. Same is true for synthetic trans fluid, laughs off heat that turns conventional trans fluid into trans killing fluid. Synthetics don't turn to goo when temp drops, or re refine themselves into vapor and sludge when the Mercury soars.

I have a database of over 200 hundred oils which shows that blends usually rank higher (but not by much) than petroleums using a composite score of their properties. But, individual properties, such as pour point, show that neither type is always superior for any individual property. As a suggestion, I'd wait for a good sale on a full synthetic, be it Group III or Group IV and stock up, otherwise I'd look at the petroleum high mileage oils if applicable. The high mileage petros are actually pretty good oil. Good luck. Mario -- EngineOilSelector.com
