what a rip off. here's why,sythetic oiles are sold on the premis that you don't have to change your oil so often, maybe 10,000-15,000. I wouldn't do this to any car. regardless of the quality of the oil the problem is contamination. The oil gets watered down with gas and contaminated with carbon deposits from blowby. This happens to any oil. The only way to fix it is to change it. No matter how good the oil is if it has carbon in it it is going to be abrasive. I ues castoroil 10-40 for most of our cars and change the oil every 2,000 miles. I have never had a car who's motor did not last longer then the chasis. You cars engine will literally last longer then the car. I'm talking 300,000 miles or so.
