valvoline synpower offer 4x better protection than mobil 1 synthetic?

Interesting as I came across a magazine ad that states it, then I decided to go on their site and saw it too.

http://www.valvoline.com/synpower-we...er%2Bpromotion

Anyways this is interesting and since I'm due for an oil change, I might have to switch from mobil 1 to give this a try.

There is also a $10 dollar rebate offer just by mailing in receipt + bottle rings, upc code, or inner seals, etc. if you buy 5 qts and I think it expires Feb. 2.

Just helping the acurazine members save some money on oil!

You can say a lot of things in advertisments; most of it .

Just one question: How, exactly, was the test conducted?








(not defending Mobil1, just not buying some one else's hype either)

There's been a lot of discussion on this. If it's the 4-ball wear test, it's worthless, there's nothing in your engine that simulates the test.

The deciding factor between those two oils for me would be price.
