Therse's a *lot* more to consider...
Look up my earlier post regarding the "oil bible" Both flash points aren't terribly high ( around 435 degF)....there are many premium single weight dino oils that have 100 degF better flash points. How 'bout looking at HT/HS specs ( high temp/high shear) ??? Do you know if this is ( like Mobil 1 ) a "true" synthetic made from PAO stock?...or is it a highly refined ( "Cracked" ) mineral oil that is so highly refined...it can be labelled and sold in America as "synthetic" ?? I think( but am not sure) that the highly-touted Shell Rotella-T Synthetic 5W-40 is such a cracked "synthetic"...... Wil
