Good synthetics (Mobile 1, Amsoil and others) are excellent oils. Think
of them as having all the good and none of the bad that mineral oils do
(e.g. paraffin, sulfur, etc)

In my opinion (which can be far from humble), any sythetic is leaps and
bounds better than dead dino oils. The basic premis is that a fossil oil
starts its "life" as a mess of many different chemicals, chock full of
impurities. The multiple refining processes are there to remove all the
impurities they can (which can hinder lubricant abilities, and some even
dangerous enough on their own in a high-friction, high-pressure, soft-metal
situation), then goes throguh further processing to try to take out and add
compounds to produce a sludge that holds a given consistancy over a certain
temperature range.
A synthetic, on the other hand, starts its life as a pure, "benign"
substance, to which other pure compounds are added in a prescribed and
controlled manner to produce a lubricrant that also holds a given consistancy
over a certain temperature range. The exact ingredients are known, as are
their lubricant/temperature qualities. Nothing is left to circumstance.
A fossil oil can still contain many unnecessary, and possibly harmful
ingredients that aren’t removed in the refining process.
Not to mention, the consistancy of sythetics can be controlled so well, that
they have been designed to flow at room temperature and below (ie, the temp
of your motor at start-up, when there is minimal lubrication in the engine
and oil needs to be introduced as quickly as possible). As those cheesy ad
compaigns remind us time and time again, starting and stopping is hard on
motors, for this reason. It’s at this time the biggest difference between
the wear w/ sythetics and fossils are probably seen.
As for the cost… come on, it’s only $3-$5/qt for good sythetics (Mobil 1,
Redline, Castrol, Pennzoil, etc). Even if you change your oil every 3,000
miles (which really isn’t necessary, easpecially when using sythetics which
don’t break down as much at high temps as fossils), that’s only $13-$25
difference every 3,000 miles (approx every 2 months, the way I drive) over
fossil oils. Very cheap insurance, in my mind.
But maybe as a Porsche ehtusiast, I’m just overly anal with my car. I’ve
seen plenty of 944 engines make 200,000 miles on fossil oils. Still, $90
extra a year seems petty to me when it comes to possible multy-thousand
dollar repairs.

There was a big stink about rental cars going 15-20K in milege without oil
changes. I’ve been in a GM plant and they use synthetic as break in oil. Also
under testing of crude vs. synthetic, the crude’s viscosity broke down in 6-7k
miles where the syntehtic went 25k without breaking down. At one time some
source recommended changing filter @ 3k miles and adding a quart until 25k
then a complete filter and fluid change was necessary.
Overly anal? Naw! Change (oil) is good!

"Synthetic" name has you confused. These oils start out life as dino
derivitives, then go through extra steps where all the bad stuff is
removed and better stuff is added in. Talk with somebody else in the
petro business and they’ll help you understand.
We are paying for extra steps in refining and blending, plus the
additives. Worth it, in my opinion.

According to a page at the Mobil web site:
"A fully synthetic motor oil is created from two synthetic base
fluids — polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and esters — combined with a
unique balanced additive package. PAOs are made by chemically
knitting molecules of ethylene into carbon chains of uniform length
and shape that are able to remain liquid and slippery under the
widest range of engine conditions. The PAOs are combined with an
ester (a compound formed from the reaction of alcohol and certain
acids) to provide the best performance properties for engine
lubricants."

I think I summarized that in the statement above:
"These oils start out life as dino derivitives, then go
through extra steps where all the bad stuff is
removed and better stuff is added in."
Is there some possible confusion about the source of the
‘polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and esters’ mentioned in the Mobil
description?

Synthetic is synthetic, not highly refined mineral oil. Another place
to look is http://www.amsoil.com. I believe Redline also has a site.

Maybe that Castrol or Valvoline mix. But Mobil 1 and Amsoil IS PURE SYNTHETIC

The original question was whether or not the synthetic WILL mix with
the standard oil, and the answer is YES.
The discussion deteriorated to what makes an oil "synthetic." One
person suggests that the ingredients listed on Mobil’s website
indicate that the Mobil-1 product (and I think he mentioned Redline
and Amsoil also) does not come from petroleum stocks. I disagreed,
since the ingredients listed don’t come from water, dirt, or plants,
but are typically "created" ("synthesized??") from petroleum stocks.
I’m sure that if you read the Mobil-1 bottle, you’ll find that it
says that it is compatible with conventional oils.

If you re-read my post, you will see that I made no such claim.
Merely contribution.

(Actually alcohol and various esters are routinely made from a
variety of non-dino sources…) However if you care to look at:
http://www.mobil.com/oneracing/about/products/engineoil/10w_30/index….
you would find the following statement:

Seems clear to me.

Mobil 1 is compatible with conventional oils. The two mix quite well and do
not at all try to separate. I experimented with this completely by
necessity. I was on a road trip, a quart low and the only decent quality
oil I could find was Havoline. I forgot to throw my usual spare quart of
oil in the back just for emergencies. I was a bit leery of mixing the two,
but there was no Mobil 1 to be found at a truckstop in the middle of nowhere
section of I-10 through Mississippi. I had maybe a teaspoon full from a
Mobil 1 bottle in the rear storage bin. My N/A 944 is an ‘87 and pushing
130,000 miles without ever having the engine rebuilt. It burns about a
quart of oil between each 6,000 mile oil change. I bought one of those
souvenir shot glasses from the truckstop and poured a small amount of both
oils in the glass. I waited and the oils blended perfectly. There is a
slight color difference in the two, and they never separated. I reluctantly
poured the Havoline in with the Mobil 1 and drove it another 1,000 miles
before changing oil again.
