Over the years I have used both synthetic and dino oils with good results. In recent years, I`ve kind of stayed with the synthetics, but I`m kind of wondering if it really is worth twice the cost.
Vehicles with conventional motor oil have run me lots of miles with no problems.
131k, 144k, 168k, 176k so it hasn`t done badly for me.
With full synthetic, I have run them 90k, 152k, 26k, 49k and 47k. Again with no problems.
With a vehicle that is driven around 20k a year under pretty average conditions, will the synthetic be worth the extra cost?
Just in one of my tightwad modes, I guess.
