They all look like water under riding conditions with high ambient temps. I never saw any difference...

Yep, the "Looked like water" comment is a pretty common statement when folks debate the cons of using synthetics. The significance of the observation isn't as forthcoming though and non-synthetics thin right out too when hot, as dochawken observes. Immediately (before it had a chance to shear) after my last oil change involving HD 360, my oil pressure dropped to 12 psi from 40 during a long ride on a hot day. The dip stick showed full but the oil was certainly thin, real thin. "It does that, who knew"?
