I am sold on synthetic oil. Several years ago I had an old chevy 2 ton that I hauled concrete mix on about 70 miles once a week on the interstate. I put an air conditioner on it and it would run a little past normal on the heat gauge. Somebody told me it would run cooler with synthetic. It didn't but, there was one hill that I had to pull with the accelerator on the bottom to come over the hill at 60mph. Same road, same time of day, exact same load with synthetic oil would come over the hill at 65 mph. That has to represent a lot less engine friction. I proved it time and time again switching oil back and forth. Today I run it in everything I own. I also use synthetic grease and synthetic 80-90 wt in manual transmissions.
