If the site looked somewhat professional, and the bottles somewhat nicely done, I may start to believe that there is a possibilty that it may be able to do half of that.

LOL, MIDI music playing in the background. jacked up web design, I smell SCAM!


Actually I did hear a few years ago that this guy in a toyota camry went 200,000 miles with out ever changing his oil. Sounds like BS, but it was on the news and everything!

I don't trust any website that sells products named "lube-for-life".

Any site that has MIDI type music on it, and colorful wording is BULL! (well most)

Well, they DO offer a pretty stout warranty. I kinda wonder if it's relabeled Mobil 1 myself.

Would the MID simply never indicate that an oil change was needed in this case?

no..MID does not monitor your oil, it monitors your driving habits and decreases as you drive

Actually, SynLube stuff and website has been around for quite some time. The products are actually really good, but I don't think I would use a "lube for life" product.
