[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 139856, member: 437"] How can it be "way better" if dino oil does the exact same thing with no problems? What is better about it? Because it costs more? If it raises rpm (and you actually need that), okay. If it increases gas mileage, okay. Those are things that would make it "better". Dino lube has been protecting lower units for years with perfectly acceptable protection.. until synthetics came along. Now it is suddenly inferior although it still does 100% of what l/u oil is supposed to do.. lubricate and protect the parts in your l/u. I have never changed my l/u oil in any motor more often than once a year unless I blew a seal. There is no need for it. Sometimes, it goes longer than that. If you have a leaking seal, it doesn't matter which oil is in your l/u. They will still both do what they are supposed to do and neither will stop your l/u housing from potentially cracking during a freeze. [/QUOTE]
