But it is true that the synthetics burn much cleaner than the standard

dinosaur

juice. My friends use it on cars that fail emissions for oil burning, it

burns

much cleaner and often gets the car to pass. Though it does loosen up old

oil

deposits and can cause damage to a poorly maintained engine then.

Does it actually burn, and burn well or does it just hang around to turn

that causes problems or just go out the exhaust.

Well, this is done on cars with established oil burning problems. So oil IS
burning!

And it must burn since it gets mixed into the combustion chamber( how well? Who
knows...better than standard oil though). But the big improvement is the HC
emission levels that flunk these cars in testing.

It obviously doesn't help all of these problem cars, but enough just squeak by to
keep thin in the bag of tricks.

You can see the blue/black smoke being reduced by the old MK I eyeball.... and
emissions testing proves its worth.

The problem is that if the car is that badly taken care of, the addition of full
synth oil may float off a old crap deposit in the engine and block a small oil
hole. If this is on a critical area..... opps.

Good Luck,
