Yeah, sure. Can you provide the verifiable evidence of that?
Here perhaps? http://www.globalsecurity.org/.../report/1988/JGA.htm

Well????????????????? This is a thread about synlube, isn't it?
Dodging the questions and relying on misdirection and deflection isn't going to change that.
BTW, none of my vehicles, all of which have gone over 100,000 miles on non synlube oil, have ever failed any emmision test.
http://www.dieselnet.com/standards/cycles/ftp75.html.
The FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) has been used for emission certification of light duty vehicles in the U.S. Effective model year 2000, vehicles have to be additionally tested on two Supplemental Federal Test Procedures (SFTP) designed to address shortcomings with the FTP-75 in the representation of (1) aggressive, high speed driving (US06), and (2) the use of air conditioning (SC03).
The FTP-75 cycle is derived from the FTP-72 cycle by adding a third phase of 505s, identical to the first phase of FTP-72 but with a hot start. The third phase starts after the engine is stopped for 10 minutes. Thus, the entire FTP-75 cycle consists of the following segments:
1.cold start phase
2.transient phase
3.hot start phase.
The following are basic parameters of the cycle:
•Distance traveled: 11.04 miles (17.77 km)
•Duration: 1874s
•Average speed: 21.2 mph (34.1 km/h).
Why would an oil company run an emission test when this test is for a vehicle?
Oh, I never used high milage oil either.
