How many miles are on ur EVO

As for a sample size, all three cars that have been broken in on non-sythetic have made ~200 wheel hp stock on our dyno. The others have made 185-190 wheel hp with one outliner as low as 165 wheel hp. I suspect the same size will grow as more people try this approach.

Maybe I'm just being really skeptical, but can anyone else foresee any reasonable causes of defects that could be caused by using non-synthetic oil? Also...how is Mitsu supposed to prove if one were at some point using non-synthetic oil...?
