The weight isn't lighter. No polymers are added....

to get the wider viscosity range. It's these added polymers that
break down with time. Synthetics get their viscosity range without
adding polymers, but don't ask me the chemical magic that does this!
All I know is that I've been using synthetic in my 9KT for two years
with nothing but good things to say about it. Although I haven't
noticed the dramatic increases in gas mileage that some have achieved
(this may be due to my more 'inspired' driving style) I have noticed
that the engine does turn easier when the temperatures drop below
zero, here in the NE winters. I used to use Mobil 1, but have since
switched to Royal Purple, which I can get delivered to my door for the
same price I'd pay for the Mobil. RP actually has a slight purple
color to it. With either RP or Mobil 1 I have experienced no noticeable
oil burning. With 7500 mile change intervals I've only noticed a
fractional (maybe 1/10 of a quart) drop on my dipstick level.
