PETEY said:Untrue. In order for a lubricant to be classified in any SAE grade (10W-30, 10W-40, etc.) it has to meet certain guidelines with regard to viscosity ("thickness").

Depending on how quick you can competently go, it will be a long dirty couple of days, but when yur done, yur probably set for the rest of the life of the engine. Then top it off with some million dollar syn oil and realize that it goes from point A to point B just as well as it did with good old inexpensive dino oil.
PETEY said:Synthetic motor oils are fuel efficient, extended life lubricants manufactured from select base stocks and special purpose additives. Synthetic oil base stocks are made from organic compounds or synthetic hydrocarbons using a process that re-arranges the structure so all the molecules are uniform in size, shape and weight, a phenomenon that does not occur in nature. In contrast to petroleum oils which are pumped from the earth and refined, synthetics are custom-designed to produce, in effect, the ideal lubricant.
molecules being uniform in size shape and weight, not necessarily smaller.
