i don't see what the big deal about synthetic is. synthetic is just reprocessed dino oil. you know when you take your old oil back to autozone??? they send it off and it is reprocessed and sold as synthetic.

Synthetic is cracked down to much smaller chains and then built back up again to be much more uniform and to have whatever properties are desired. The starting materials can be almost any hydrocarbon, including used oil. But this is quite different than just "recycling" the oil.

Good god, thats plain dumb. After your 25k miles you should send some oil in to Blackstone Labs and see what they have to say. Also, you better be changing your filters more fequently than that!

i use amsoil 0w-30. works great... only change oil every 25000miles or 1 year...
Mobil 1 was/is cheap enough at walmart and I have no issues changing the oil frequently.
