Why is Semi-Synthetic oil often recommended?
Discussion
Why is Semi-Synthetic oil often recommended for the speed six? (10w40 seems to be the general opinion)
The only real advantage to Semi over Fully-synth seems to be that it is cheaper. But not but a huge amount really.
The advantages to fully-synth surely outweigh that? Particularly for an engine that has lubrication flow issues when cold:
- It's better at withstanding hot and cold temps
- It flows better
- It produces less sludge / deposits
- It creates a more robust film at high temp / high load
Maybe I'm missing something?
Any oil gurus out there?
