I wont argue either way, because I have seen no hard data to compare this generation's synthetics with this generations dino oils.
I continue to use high quality dino oil, because I change at 3000-3500 mile intervals and will continue to do so.
I have heard that the high quality dino oils are "about" the same quality as the synthetics at this point. Strictly word of mouth, again no credible data either way.
IMO, if it is to your advantage to run very low viscosity oils, synthetics may be your best or only choice.
