Look at the independent lab tests for the oil you want to run as this will give you the facts you need to make a decision.

Without factual and proven lab data sheets on the oil all the comments are merely personal preference.

You will get those people stating the results are bogus but if the test lists the oils by name you can be damn sure if the data was flawed and made another oil vendor look bad there would be a legitimate law suite. No oil company is going to let their product get bashed by false test data.

I have used the Syn Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the past and did not care for it at all. It made my bearings skate and seals leak! From now on it's only fresh squeeze EVOO from a real tree for me.
