It's very controversial. I use Synthetic in everything except engines & here's why....too expensive!
I feel if you have money to change your engine oil every 3000 miles with synthetic than go for it but if you intend to do oil analysis & run your oil longer...too scary for me.
I change my oil every 3000 miles using Cheveron 15-40 Delo 400 & a Cummins oil filter. The oil comes out black as coal & I'm just not comfortable running it longer.
I've seen several engines apart where the oil has been changed every 3000mi & the last one I saw I swear at 300K it still had hatch marks on the cylinders & the main& rod bearings didn't need changing...well within specs.
Why mess with success I say?
