So my analysis: alot of KA-T guys are using Mobil1, castrol syntec, Royal Purple, and Redline. These synthetics are already pretty stable, since it is much more REFINED and Recycled, compared to conventional oils. But there is to say that some conventional oils can be just as good also such as Castrol GTX. Now if KAdet guy's use these oils, the SR should defenitely be good for it as well. Especially since the KA has thinner oil rings, and compression rings than the sr's...
Interesting article to follow on synthetic oils, especially Mobil1.

Honestly if you want oil to stabilize to it's maximum potential you should focus more on the engine cooling system, use products like water wetter, and less anti freeze. Dropping engine tempratures increases oil life and performance. Or add a windage tray and scraper, even larger oil cooling systems. oil as is, is already as good as it gets.

My KA doesn't have thinner rings anymore...

How would running less anti-freeze help?
