They were not needed when synthetics were 5w30 or 10w40. Those ranges could be achieved with syntehtic stock and was one of the great advances.
But when we go to 5w50 and 0w40 that changes. That's the point!
Incidentally, VIIs (which are not one thing but a class of lubricant molecules) would be listed as synthetic stock. It is synthetic oil, its just a temperature -reactibng long chain polymer. Its small when cold and unfurls when hot. But it is synthetic (heck, anything can be) and it is a lubricant. So you wont necessarily see it listed. You are now out of my depth however.
back to the original - people are taking a factoid from here (from a past context that no longer applies) and merging it with a factoid from now and creating..... nonsense.
Over and most assuredly out. All i can do is provide the current facts. You choose to use it or not. It affects me not the least! Juts want the info out there 0 including - all theory aside - how they performed in test. Which corroborated everything i said.
