When they calmed down, they said they would not put Castrol Syntec in their lawn mowers. To them it is bad stuff. They said if you want to blow up your engine use it.
Hans has been a Porsche mechanic for 50 years and the other guy (I dont remember his name) has been a mechanic for over 20 years. So I asked them to give their "opinions" of M-1 and Lubro Molly. They said none of todays oils are as good as they used to be. They finally told me they preferred the Lubro Molly.

I find it interesting that Castrol Syntec has a TV commercial claiming 8 times better wear protection than Mobil 1 & apparently Mobil 1 can't deny this since the commercial has been airing for over a year. :chicken:
