Question? for anyone consider the following:
Synthetic oil is about 3 times more expensive than good grade fossil oil.
Changing fossil oil at 3-4,000 mile intervals from a cost/benefit ratio means one must change synthetic oil at 9-12,000 miles to equalize the cost alone. The ratinale is to normally change the filter every time one changes the oil - isn't that the drill? So then the cost for fossil changes will go up about 1.5 quarts of synthetic.
Now, isn't the benefit of frequently changed oil resulting in a cleaner engine? and isn't the frequent changing of the filter cleansing mechanism that removes suspended particles better? I really don't know what the answer is but I do believe most of us do not keep our cars long enough to determine the benefit of either if we follow a sylibus that constitutes good maintenance. Am I correct?
