The only time I would synthetic is when I would have a turbo only because the oil aerates after it goes thru the cartridge.

But for all you people who use Synthetic while the manufactuer doesn't mention it, you're wasting your money. Put it this way, I probably run my car alot harder than most of you and dino oil is all I need................for now :rick:
