As stated 15% synthetic works brilliantly for me.

David,

The 15% synthetic oil you are talking about, no-doubt comes from Fuchs (Aerosynth II/III™ and Aerosave™), or Motul (Micro™)...

These oils are not available in North America and those available to most Americans (the exception is Cooper's synthetic, which is ester based and as good as them (the European brands), but its distribution is rather limited), just don't do the job as well.
Even these European brands (and Cooper's) don't offer the same high temperature protection as cheap, plain, first-pressing castor oil...

The lubricity these European brands (and Cooper's) offer, however, is bar-none; unlike the widely available American brands, which are inferior to castor oil by a rather wide margin.
