🤢.. I think I'll be old-fashioned and stick to the real stuff.

Synthetic butter is an emerging, sustainable alternative produced without dairy cows or plant crops. A notable innovator, Savor, uses a thermochemical process to create fats from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. This lab-created product, backed by Bill Gates, mimics the taste, texture, and melting point of real butter with a significantly lower carbon footprint.

The molecules in synthetic butter are smaller and fill the nooks and crannies on my English muffins better 🤣

They're using that as a stop gap solution. The true issue is the poor machining of their bearings and the poor oiling of the engine. Thicker oil can help slow damage, but it cant stop it completely, hence why some engines are still failing on 0w-40. Just like Toyota's 3.4LTTv6, it's a poor design from the outset.

It just so happens both engines use variable displacement oil pumps instead of the older constant pumps. Surely that has nothing to do with it, right GM engineers?
Nice deep explanation of what you've said.



"GM's investigations are about as reliable as their engines" - Ah!

Yes, for EB engines, use ford spec oil wSS-m2c971-a1. It’s 5W-30 stuff.

Name just one OEM commercial car or truck manufacturer in the world who machines/makes their own bearings...

Thanks to all you boneheads, I had to go out and make popcorn to watch Gunsmoke! 😉
Name another brand that sells both popcorn and motor oil.
