[QUOTE="ja_cain, post: 1181671, member: 11928"] Good stuff Jim. Synthetics are definitely a game changer. They just act differently than conventionals at different conditions. I guess they don't need as much vii as they already inherently have a high vi. The nice thing is the molecular weight, molecular confirmation and degree of saturation can be controlled to a tight degree when its synthesized. This makes it easier to model and its consistent. In other words you know what you are getting as there is very little variability in true synthetics. This really illustrates the importance of picking the right fluid for the application/conditions. Large fleets its all about being cost effective (reducing failures, fuel economy, increasing intervals, ect.). Passenge cars, mantaining factory like shift characteristics is very important. Im actually doing some work for an additive developer that looks at how changes in additives could change shift characteristics in auto transmissions. They want to maintain that factory feel. Not familiar with PAG's and will do some research and ask my brother about them. Would love to do one of the short courses your company offers. Anyway, good discussion. OP, sorry if I have derailed this thread a little with my blather. [/QUOTE]
