1) I bought synthetic b/c a 5 quart jug was on clearance for 10 bucks.
2) Mentioned it to the wife who said her mom's mechanic said you have to stay with synthetic. 3) I replied, "that sounds like horseshit" 4) Sought advice of Planet to be absolutely sure. I don't really care what type of oil is in the car as long as it is clean. I'm a cheap bastard.

I run synthetic in both my cars and change it every 7,500 to 10,000. The 3,000 mile rule is just salesmanship, like visiting the dentist every six months.

I use synthetic oil because it does last longer before it breaks down and I hate handing over $50 for an oil change. I am a cheap **** as well. I even change mine out during times I am set to handle it.

Yeah, it all depends on what kind of driving a person is doing as well. If a guy is going up and down the highway it's one thing, but is a guy is playing Bo Duke up and down dirt roads a lot, obviously one is going to have to dump their oil more often.
