Will >syntetic allow longer oil change intervals. Implications? Reduced engine wear, cooler running (oil temp), easier winter starts, and often better fuel economy. If you use AMSOIL, as I have for the past 21 years, you can change the filter at 5K, oil and filter at 10K and be very safe. (I did oil analysis to be sure, and the oil was still suitable for continued use when I drained it.) If you use Mobil 1, you should be able to run almost as long without drain. The others should easily run as long as the maximum recommended drain interval. Dick in Falls Church, VA Using and selling AMSOIL (First in Synthetics) over 21 years 85 900T, 85 volvo 240 turbo
