I know that everyone has already gone over this, but can someone tell me the benefits of switching over to synthetic oil vs. staying with regular oil.
Any recomendations, should I go with synthetic. Any experience with synthetic? Good or Bad? Let me know please. Which brand without spending a fortune?
Any help you guys and girls can give a lowly Newbie would be appreciated.

Your right, it's been discussed about 3 times too much already. What that means is that there is mucho information already in this board. Use the search function and you will see this.

No matter what everyone says, it's your car and your money. Use the search feature, reSEARCH the data and come to your own conclusions.

My personal preference is synthetics though.

No way man. You are generalizing way too much. Your an idiot for ignoring the basic laws of nature. Your examples leave WAY too many undetermined varibles. Geez, what if the VQ was on top of Mt. Everest? That thing was NO torque at all! Get your facts straight man!

So,

I get 20 (reduced from 30) points for using the "I" word, while Jeff gets only 15 for using the "I" word AND "you're" incorrectly.....

Double standards!

These are public points for everyone to see!

Assigning that many points is JUST WRONG!

What about free speech!

Unfair!

Correct, but the initial usage of the word is an automatic 30 points, remember I was being nice...

There is no such thing as free speech and if you keep crying I'm adding on that 10 points I took off!
