I've heard lots of stories about synthetic oils doing harm to engines and transmissions, and after further looking into each claim, I've always found that it came down to user error. Most people think they know things, and don't ever bother to read directions, and that causes problems.

I don't care if I've done something 100 times on 100 vehicles, if I get a new vehicle, or anything changes, I read the directions. There's a good reason for it, and I have a track record of NOT screwing up as a result.
