Default Synthetic oil in Sol?

Hi.

Wondering if anybody runs sythetic oil in their sol, or any other vehicle for that matter.

Would look some input regarding these issues:

1) Vehicle has never run synthetic before, just regular oil. Is it worth switching now considering Sol has 80,000 miles on it?

2) Is it worth the extra cost?

3) How much longer should a person wait between oil changes?

4)Synthetic blend or 100% synthetic?

Thoughts?

Am thinking about switching over to synthetic on my keeper sol.

-S

I run good old dyno juice. Forget the price of synthetic! Most of the time I get too bored with an engine and yank it out around the time an oil change is due anyway. I guess I'm a bit of an odd ball... But I treat my cars right, give them what they want! Same goes for women! TREAT WOMEN BETTER THAN YOUR CARS, and you will find a woman that lets you keep your cars and spend more money on the car than them. It's amazing how that works out!
