OK, so let me be the one to pull the pin on the next oil topic grenade...
What synthetic oil has the correct additives for a performance engine with a flat tappet cam, or a severe duty rings?
Let's say we've got an application that needs the extra anti-scuff additives, and wants a synthetic in 10W30? Regular oil change intervals (not a short lived non-detergent race-type oil).
Lets take my application, which is a moderate HR cam with Total Seal AP stainless rings, with CR-33 facing? Engine is street/strip, gapped for a 200 hit of N2O. (The TS guy said the HFT oils will help ring life)
What's a hotrodder to use?
