It's not really whats required it whats people prefer and I personally prefer full synthetic myself along with other people im sure.

It's kind of like some people prefer premium over regular gas.

Thats fine. I just don't see the point of spending $5-$7 on a quart of oil that just burns off while you drive or leaks in your driveway.

it shouldnt be burning or leaking.. if it is then your engine has problems.

doesnt matter what kind of car or engine you have. synthetic is better so why not use the best if you are able to?

all i know, is that with RP 10w30 I can feel when the oil has circulated, the motor takes on a different feel and acts much more responsive. I don't have any hard evidence to support that claim, but I feel it almost daily when im driving home from work, and ive never felt that with any other oil.

the reason i ask is because i know other people have heard this too, if it was true i wouldnt want to start using synthetic mess up and forget or not be able to dish out the extra cash if times get rough. i will probably run synthetic though considering im not just a swap and bolt ons.

also what is wrong with mobil 1 i only hear the good things.
IM AN EPIC FAIL

mobile1 use to be the shit.. something about how its not a group V or group somethign anymore.. basically not a true synthetic anymore.
