To be honest, you should probably not listen to those same people again.

Synthetic is perfect for applications in which there's high temp involved, like SC and turbo. Dino starts to break down a lot faster and at a lower temp then synthetics.

Thanks for the info guys I knew that info smelled fishy. If

Vortech recomends using it, then I guess that's what's best. I think I need to stop talking to those ppl.
