Synthetic oil for 280

[David - WI]

I know... just messing with you. I remember when synthetic oil started showing up in Hot Rod / Car Craft.

That little bit of hair I have left on my head (being nearly 76 years old) bristles when I hear "synthetic" oils. In the `90s I used AGIP Sint 2000 in my 2.7 ltr BMW straight 6 (325 Evolution2 - exclusively available in South Africa). Within 5000 kms it chewed up a very expensive Schnitzer camshaft and a set of rocker arms. AGIP Sint as used by Ferrari - what could possibly go wrong?
These days I am using exclusively Castrol Magnatech in my 4-strokes (Automobiles), with great results. The label says synthetic, but I am sure it is a blend.
