Im just wanting a full PAO syn, but it seems hard to pick the truth out of all the BS propoganda stuff out there. I do know I don't want AMSOIL

Thanks for the help...
Some of the M1 formulations break down severely with temperature, so be careful. Worst report was 240F flash point after 1100 miles and a track day in a BMW running 290F oil temps. Granted you are probably not getting it that hot unless you are canyon carving pretty hard, and if you are then well you probably need an oil cooler. There is a lot of info to be picked out of bobistheoilguy.com, just need to figure out what applies to you.
