marketed to give the impression its fully synthetic when its not... then overpriced as a result... you can get better for the same money dude

I found fully synthetic to be too slippy and thin e.g 0-40, so it got past my piston rings and would wet the plugs. Personal experience though.
Also it can wash away any oil seals that have been "established" by previous oil build ups.
I stick to Semi, but use a quality Castrol or Millers 10w40. I might try a fully 10w40 one day again if I can find one lol.

Why is it you never see Silkolene in the shops any more ?
I no a bloke who worked in the plant there years ago he said that there oil was the best by far. This was mineral oil tho think it was before synthetic stuff really took off so not sure what thats like.
