[QUOTE="Mhatlen, post: 1520190, member: 14173"] It’s held in suspension far better then natural oil. Natural oil blends with the fuel as well as the exhaust. EGR system is not good for the engine for several reasons but oil dilution is likely the worst aspect of it. The synthetics are not naturally going to blend with a petroleum or it’s hydrocarbons. Oil and fuel are both from the same oil so they will go back together flawlessly. Also why rubbers are attacked by petroleum products and not typical with synthetic oils. Synthetic oils are better and in pretty much in every aspect. It’s also different structured molecules that get into the pores of the steel and provide better start up lubrication then the natural oil. Engines have gotten better over last 30 years but the oils are why you see them going 400,000 miles today. The days of sludge piling up inside the engines are gone. I tore down thousands of engines in the 80’s when I was a machinest rebuilding them. 80K on a engine back then had significant wear on all the valve trane timing chains piston skirts and even some rings and cylinder bores were worn @ 80-100K. Oil is so much better today and is a big factor in the engine reliability we enjoy today. It’s your trucks your engines pour in what’s refined into oil regardless of where it’s from. Or use synthetics that start from only highest quality petroleum’s and have the flaws engineered out. I like knowing I’m not draining my rubber o-rings out the drain plug over time too. There’s a lot of interesting data on the subject online. [/QUOTE]
