Synthetic in cases and conventional oil for internal combustion, land or sea.
I never run out of protection or money this way and I have excellent success.

Re: Poll: Synthetic engine oil or no?
I've been running Brad Penn oil in my 750 hp blower motors strictly because my engine builder recommended it. When running fresh oil (I change oil every 10 hrs) my oil pressure would be 50 psi at 4000 rpm, oil temp 220 degrees. after the oil had 7-8 hrs of hard running, my oil pressure would drop when the oil got hotter than 200 degrees. I'm sure the oil was breaking down as when I let it cool, the oil pressure would return to normal. I've not had the oil tested but I'm pretty sure this oil was all done at 10 hrs.
From reading Hydro's posts on Mobile 1, I decided to switch. I'm now running M1 15-50 and I'm just plain floored at the dramatic difference in oil pressure when oil temps rise. I just took a half hour run and held oil temps at 220 degrees, the Mobile one was a full 20 psi more oil pressure than what I was running before. Even at 230 degrees (before the cooler) oil pressure held steady at 70 psi @4000 rpm.
Mobile 1 rocks!!!!

I went from dino to M-1 15/50 and saw similar results, then switched to the v-twin 20/50 and saw an additional 10psi at hot idle.
V-Twin really rocks

I'll try to order some for the next oil change.
How does M-1 handle fuel dilution?
