Read our primer articles on High Mileage Oil, Synthetic Oil and Kinematic Viscosity

Just an update:
Ford Ranger FX4, 4.0L V-6 w/5-spd manual
Synlube installed: 27-Jan-2004
Miles: 45,449.7
Avg MPG: 19.774, mostly light city/suburban driving (EPA 15/19)
Other SynLube products: gear oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant

I have had excellent service from these products. No problems at all.

I use a CM filter and about 2 years ago, I removed it to check for any sign of oil deterioration. There was none. I reinstalled the filter but I replaced the media so that I could show anyone interested.

The engine feels consistantly strong, spark plugs look clean, no deposits on the tailpipe, cold starts, even after extended down time, are effortless. Oil consumption during this time is about 4-6 ounces.

I will take my six years of actual experience over any other standard.

Houckster, I just the read the population of Nevada is 1, Miro Kefurt of synlube!!

Apparently, no one using the synlube product is allowed to live in Nevada?

What people don't realize is the home state of any company will have the most customers!!! Imagine That!!!

Well, guess what, I live in NJ and use synlube, and wanted to know if you are using the magnet inside the Cm filter because I was thinking about installing one of the those on my jeep. The factory filter is rather small and Cm offers a larger size that would easily fit.

Do you have on oil pressure gauge in the Dash,if so what does it show overtime with the filter?

And you can order anything you want

Our GUARANTEE applies to ALL uses, our limited lubrication warranty APPLIES only to unmodified vehicles that people leave alone and do not experiment with and do nothing more than replace the conventional Lube with SynKit.

We are really NOT and never were interested in people who are not satisfied with vehicles they purchased and have to redesign a 2 billion (on average) vehicle R&D and think that on budges for FEW $$$ they will improve on something that thousands of Engineers spend years on doing but just can not get it right !

They should in my opinion go and manufacture their own vehicles as apparently the WORLD OUT THERE needs them, since in 100+ years of manufacture no OEM can make a decent car...

We do not sponsor any racers, they all (over 415 teams) buy SynLube and pay the same price that you will, if you purchase it, we do not give away cases of motor oil on every “even t” like CATROL does, not sponsor non winning teams like MOBIL 1, etc.

We do not finance Golf tournaments, swim meets, sky expeditions, or hunts for sasquatch, all we do is make the absolutely best lubricants you can as a private person buy at a price you can afford (less than cost of petroleum) while eliminating 100% of used waste oil from the environment.

Also no one seems to get the fact that you can change SynLube as often as you like and if so you get money back for the USED product, try that one with AMSOIL, MOBIL 1, SHELL, or what ever !!!

Huh?????????????
The most customers we have are in Southern California about 82%, we actually have more customers in Alaska then Nevada, even people who live in Nevada have mindset that there can not be any company other than casino in Las Vegas, but that does not bother me at all.

Our two ex-fleet customers absolutely love us, as now they get ABSOULTELY FREE Mobil 1 for all their vehicles, and if it was not for SynLube, ExxonMobil would have never made them such great offer !!!

All it took was to mention Mobil 1 Las Vegas "tests" on our web and ExxonMobil people ran in a hurry to Las Vegas to make $$$$ giveaway - apparently they are so scared of SynLube, but why they could buy us out in a day if they wanted to probably for less than the cost of the 3 to 5 year contracts for FREE lubricants to two companies (one limo andother taxi).

SynLube on the other hand was NEVER FREE to anyone, so big OIL can definitely compete with us if they are willing to give theri products away FREE to customers, we definitely can not and will not do that. SynLube is not and never will be a charity organization.

The oil change interval is a good point since most people are changing out the other oils they use way before the stated interval at their own cost!! They don't even trust what they are using now!!!!

I plan to adhere to the 5 year 50k interval for the maximum possible life(my choice),..and then send in the used oil for full credit like I did before at over 60k when car was traded in. I also change the filter yearly at 8-10k intervals,..but that is my choice,probably overkill!

I going to cut open the next filter change and inspect to confirm the overkill statement above.
Captain Kirk: Yes, I'm using a couple of the neodymium magnets on the filter. They attach directly to the filter element which is enclosed in a steel cage. I took mine apart after three years and was very pleased. There wasn't a thing in the filter. There was no metal on the magnets either. I probably won't remove the filter again for at least another 5 years. Talk about a dynamite combination . . .

You obviously know nothing about mechanics,people have been modding the rig for years to suit their need,no CAR company can offer the best quality part or the best R&D simply the cost would be to high and they have to make compromise.You are telling me,that your oil cant handle dana 60 application, cant handle s/c engine, cant handle the atlas transfer box? ALL these use tech from the 50,we still use solid axle,the engine is from a dodge caravan from 1990 .....im very impress ,glad you did say so causes you just block yourself from a big part of the jeep community and unlike you seems to say we do not cut corner when its time to pay for part,we want the best.

But, in your post above this one, you state I can return the used oil and get my money back. Which makes the oil free.

Which makes it........ wait for it......... a charity organization.

So which is it?

Virtual,easy now! It looks like just a point was being made in general. I am the owner of a Jeep GC Ltd with the 303 hp 4.7 and I use synlube,no problem,vw,mustang,etc. Yes,if the mods are done correctly improvements can be made,but as you know,they don't come cheap! They really should be Mopar in my opinion in most cases,but that's your decision. My brother in-law spent over 10 grand on his jeep! Ouch! I rode in his jeep and concluded it should now be used only for rock climbing,and is not what I would call road worthy. Talk about bounce,high center of gravity,and now its a dog on the road! Maybe even dangerous!! He does not go off road with it,so it was just for fun. He is also out of work now,ouch again!

Put whatever oil in your jeep you want.

However,if your are into cutting edge,..just a suggestion,..you could give it a try. Synlube can handle all what you speak of above. Change the filter in 5k and send in a UOA to your favorite lab to get a trend and prove it to yourself. I see you are already using pretty good oil now, shaeffer's I believe. That oil does use severely cracked petroleum,so by definition the synlube is using a much more expensive base stock.

However,if your engine is from 1990,.. there would be some questions about your unique circumstances regarding that engine and so forth. Has it been rebuilt,moded etc.? How and where do you drive it,off road,rock climbing etc.

If you had synlube in the drive train,and way overstressed and snapped/broke something,then no,don't use synlube,it can't strengthen the metal gears in that regard. It will give excellent shock loading protection though. But twist something in two,forget about it!!

You prove against your lack of knowledge,mopar part are re branded after market,lift kit for the jk are mostly made by rubicon express,the differential are made by dana,the engine is a 3.8 was first seen in 1991 as a 3.3 and re-tune by Chrysler and come stock in all wrangler jk.Oil filter ,made by wix.....but i guess its better to have mopar write on it .....and the soft top is made by best top.No lift kit are not cheap but done properly they can be safe on or off road .Still your lack of knowledge is unbelievable you know nothing about the product you want to put your oil in,its honestly quite lame.Why would i rebuilt a brand new engine?It might be a cow,slow but tough and will last me for year, where i drive it? Common its a jeep where do you think i drive it?
Shaffer. nope i dont use it ,mobil 1 in the engine,motul gear 300 in both differential ,amsoil in the transfer case and oem oil in the tranny.

MIROSLAV KEFURT JR. You really need to cut it with your attacks dude. First off I have no need to post, as another person. And your insinuations that Trajan/Myself, and other people are the same person is absolute nonsence...Really.... Grow up.

There were some posts in the Synlube thread early yesterday, referencing something from the L.A. Times in 1981 about you that was well...shocking. Trajan, mentioned this had nothing to due with the post. I agreed, I notified the mods and he may have as well. The article and all posts, referencing it were immeadiately removed.....You know what I am referring to.

So quit with your bull dude. Quit with the paranoia. We just wanted facts from you. Facts to backup INCREDIBLE CLAIMS. The way you went, and are going about things, really makes me question your competance as an owner and human being....Take the hint Miroslav, relax and go away for awhile...NOBODIES OUT TO GET YOU DUDE.

Great! Bravoooo!....your'e an expert on Jeep parts. The topic at hand is about synlube lub-4-life and the feedback from those who have used it thus far. If you have not used it don't knock it. A simple no-thanks will do. Enjoy re-rebuilding your jeep over and over!!!
