even if the oil lasts up to 15k miles, your filter wont last that long. u end up replacing the filter and adding probally another 1/2 quart to comphensate for lost due to the filter change.

No synthetic oil can hold and suspend 15K-mile worth of contaminants (those that are too small to be filtered.) They end up becoming sludge and choke up the engine eventually. That's why oil should be changed at manufacturer's specified interval. No matter what oil you use: dino, synthetic, or olive oil.
For the RX300 owners: Lexus is offering a goodwill 8-year warranty on the RX300 engine, so why waste money using synthetic? Let the engine die before the 8 year is up, so you can get a BRAND NEW ENGINE from Lexus.

Oh, boy. Based on your wonferful post, it is due to poor base stocks and adds.
I can tell you do not understand oil anaysis; because if you did you would understand these basic fundamentals. So run some tests and then post some real info .

Let’s not turn this into another argument please.
SO let’s all take a step back, and get back on topic.

Psot something to at least backup the info with data. I am trying to educate people since I seem to be the only one posting real numbers on the oils. Gets boring to no end.

Please do not continue this type of behavior in future threads or your access will be removed. I would have hoped to see something both on topic and more respectful.
