UA's opinion: If you want the best synlube for your car, use Mobil 1 (though NOT in aircraft engines. Application matters). =========================== Whats mobil1 made out of? Is the formula a secret? Is it teflon or something? Or is it a hydrocarbon just like regular lube oil? In which case, why do they call it synthetic? I guess as long as I get to ask a few questions, how much engine oil is used per year in the US? I'll guess 5 qts for every 5000 miles there about...I guess I need to know the number of miles now... 24 quadrillion BTUs is the transportation total used.... so if some algae farm breakthru gives us imported oil independence in a few years, how much crankcase oil will we need and from whence it cometh?
