150k is nothing.
What oil is best? and what ratio?

Synthetic oils will leave a coating on metal parts that will delay the break in time required.
It is part of the reason they reduce wear so much, especially when starting in the cold.
I'm letting my new F-150 eco boost break in of the semi synthetic that came in it for 5,000 miles, then will go to full synthetic.

It is more than that Jeff.
Using conventional oil, most wear occurs during start up, before oil pressure builds. Synthetics greatly reduce this problem by leaving a coating on the parts. You can even get away with running briefly w/o any oil.
They are also far superior to reducing breakdown both thermally and from fuel contamination. This is why they remain effective so much longer than conventional oils.
Advances in oils and anti-freeze are part of the reason cars and trucks now last so much longer. (remember changing anti freeze every 2-3 years???)
It used to be that if a car was 5 years old and had 100,000 miles, it was spent! Not any more!

Sorry that just isn't correct. Synthetic oil is just more stable, it does not reduce friction due to the oil being more slippery if you will, it's because synthetic oils can provide thinner weights without breaking down. PAO oil will not cling to metal more than mineral oil, that would take an ester based oil. Synthetic is better in the cold because it flows better at low temperatures. There is virtually no difference between semi synthetic and synthetic oil, especially oils like 5W 20 they have to be a full synthetic despite what it says on the bottle. So Mike you're actually breaking the engine in with a synthetic oil.

I agree with that. I had a 08 Ram 1500 that had just over 420,000km (over 260,000 miles) and still ran fine when I got rid of it. I’m sure it would have kept plugging along if I wanted to keep it.

But they do reduce friction...
Why I stated plain and SIMPLE.
But you are correct. They do much more than just reduce friction...
Too many positive attributes to list...
SO......
How about that Yamalube 2R?
OR that Honda HP2??

Yeah it's become pretty much a joke at this point. But hell it passes the time, and distracts the mind.

Hp2 has been fantastic in every 2 stroke i own from generator to dirt bikes for about 10 years. Even the FVP synthetic oil from Menards i’ve used hasn’t blown anything up. It even comes in 40:1 bottles.
