Congrats on the truck, I know you've been looking for a while.
The site I linked answered some questions I've been curious about. I thought if it was all it claimed: better mileage, less wear, reduced oil usage, then if the trucking industry adopted it, it would reduce our foreign dependency and reduce the cost of syn oil. So I thought what is it made of, is it a derivative of oil anyway? The site answered some of my questions. Their fossil based because most of the synthetics are fossil. They named only one that was an actual synthetic. Mobil 1 But I still don't know what that is made of. I think that a fleet should have all syns installed and then test them for a year. Do they have less wear and better mileage. The gov could subsidize and the bennies from syn could spread. Is this test already out there since the inception of syn?
