is synthetic oil really worth the extra money? does it really help the motor just wondering what everyone uses? oh and what about the purple shit someone said that was pretty good. discuss your oil.

i've known synthetic oil to be good for one main reason: it is better at handling higher temperatures, or for the technical, has less change in viscosity per degree increase of temperature than regular oil
