Did you read the link I provided? Does anyone read any of the links I provide?

Synthetics allow for multiweight oils without polymers, however in a convention oil these are present and represent cause for concern running more than 30 points difference as it tends to indicate more additives. Additives do not lubricate so the more that are included the less oil there is.
