Your findings are valid yet unconclusive for all you can come up with is an answer your source can not provide proof of. "This is an all too common misconception, and one with no scientific data to support it."

If you are so sure of yourself, why dont you pop your oil cap and mix freely full synthetic with mineral oil and get over yourself. Then provide us and everyone here with your results.

Until then, keep searching your internet assistant GOOGLE until you find us substantial scientific data to prove this common misconception and every mechanic i know wrong.
don't get too upset, let's not forget who told everyone that:

If you mix full synthetic with mineral, you will get a chemical reaction which will cause the oil to breakdown and act like an acid and hence eat away at your internals.
maybe if you checked you facts before posting... maybe i would not have to PROVE anything in the first place?

true?
