I just got a newer engine and I want it to last as long as possible.
I use synthetic everywhere I can.
I believe in the power of synthetics and by increasing the time between changes I reduce the amount of waste oil I produce.
I am up to 10K between changes in Barbs car and the oil I remove is almost as clean as th oil I put back in. I do, however, change the filter @ 5K and top off the oil. This makes me feel better and it may or may not have an actual effect on the longevity of her motor.
