Most of the synthetics are very good about viscosity improvement, and they
also have extremely good film strength. As a result, they tend to be better
at keeping surfaces coated at temperature extremes.
The real question, though, is how the stuff holds up under extreme pressure
with high shear levels. Shear strength is a big deal for gear oils.
