IMO, preventing mating surfaces from making contact is the key to a long life. And IMO full synthetics are better at this than regular oils. But.. when loads get excessively high... this shows how differing brands of full synthetic oil stack up against each other.
I love science and actually putting ideas to test!

Royal purple faired best. But make sure to understand this is an extreme oil film test where excessive pressure is applied.
This doesn't mean that your engine will actually perform like this.
IMO things like a heavy shot of nitrous can do it. Or maybe a well worn engine and broken down oil that's seeing high rpms.
The key is in preventing excessive pressures that would force the sliding parts to touch. That's why my lightning has a upgraded oil system (cobra pump and pickup tube/puck that pushes 75psi when fully warmed up)

I use Amsoil full synthetic on both my truck and quad. Both like it just fine. I change it every 7500 miles on the truck and every 5ish rides on my bike. On the truck I also use an Amsoil filter. When I change it it comes out dark but that doesn't meant its bad. The oil is rated for a 15K mile service life but no thanks.

1) He was estimating time by counting out loud while a timing device was taking actual measurements.
2) He's flat out lie-ing.
Based on the times list at the bottom of each page... I suspect the first.
