At about the same time that program was airing, a commercial came on so I switched channels and they were dynoing another motor on another automotive show. The first pull it had O'reillys brand of oil, which is probably valvoline or pennzoil or who knows what, and then they changed oil and the second pull they had some other brand of oil, I don't even remember who's now, but it got 6 or 7 more horsepower and a few more pounds of torque with the oil that they were advertising at that moment which supposedly had the magic elixer added that no other oil has. I don't know the right answer, but I've had a fair amount of racing experience over the years (not boats) and I have experienced better performance and engine life with synthetic products.

Yes some do. Valvoline makes a ZDDP additive that I have been using. They reduced the level in the oil since it was causing problems in catalytic converters with older motors with lots of blow by. Redline has much higher levels of moly than other brands as well.
