And you know this for a fact? Have you seen or done tests that show that regardless of wear additivies and types of oil driving hard will "fvck up any car".

Synthetic oils have more wear protection, more wear protection means less wear especially under hard driving conditions.

For daily driven cars, the benifits are

Synthetic oils also work better at low temperatures because they flow much more freely down to -40 to -50 degrees F. Also, synthetic oils start lubricating much sooner and reach critical areas much faster.

The advantages? Longer intervals between oil changes are possible because synthetics suffer less breakdown due to the better base stock used. Usually the synthetics will have a better additive package, allowing the oil to clean better among other things.
