Dino oil changed every 3000 miles or 3 months.

Synthetic exclusively since the late eighties. I know modern dino squeezins is just fine as long as you change it regularly but those long molecules is better. They got better high speed shear properties, better high temp resistance, better flow at startup in cold weather, and they won't turn into sludge. For an extra $30 twice a year it's not worth a second thought. With the high piston speeds in the F20/22C, any help with friction and heat is a good thing.

A member in the Vancouver Forum recently switched to Motul Synthetic and said he was getting better gas mileage.
