Can we not bash marques? Me, I believe that synthetic oil is a *good* product, possible even *better* than regular oil but I've yet to see a credible study that convinced me it's ENOUGH better to be worth the price. And all the anecdotal "my car ran from here to the moon and back and burned only a teaspoon of oil" stories won't convince me. When I get my '66 Bentley's engine rebuilt, maybe I'll switch, but heck, it's only got 110,000 miles on it, I've got a ways to go yet. --berry
