Synthetic for an older motor?

I've used Mobil 1 15W50 in marine motors with roller cams since '99. Not one issue with it being too slick and flat spotting the rollers on the lifters. Amsoil claims their product is superior to Mobil 1, yet provides more friction in the motor so the rollers on the lifters don't slide. Say again? More friction = better oil?

I started running Amsoil Full Sysnthetic in My HP500's this year and I am burning less oil and it is holding up better than blends or standard oil ever did. I have already put 60 hours or so on this oil and only changed filters.

Lets just say for the sake of disucssion, that the roller is sliding on the slippery synthetic oil.
If it is sliding on the oil's flim, it is not coming in contact with the lobe of the cam so how can it wear out?

Look at Teague's post earlier in this thread. "Some synthetics are just too slippery". How else could Amsoil ensure the rollers roll and not slide if not through increased friction? Provide us with the science behind Teague's claims that only Amsoil Dominator 15W50 will ensure that your roller lifters will roll and not slide.

Your pullin my leg right?
The analysis is virtually identical to Joe Gibbs
I like Mobil 1 used it for years In every thing from race bikes to offshore boats...never had a lube related failure. M-1 has just become difficult to find in 15w50. Also M-1 today is not the same M-1 of 10 years ago, changes to be epa friendly.....less motor protection.
What brand do you favor?

See this is exactly how wrong information gets out in the public. People like you read something and twist it around to say something basically completely different.

Oh yeah, and what analysis is virtually identical to Joe Gibbs?
