I used Quaker state full synthetic, horsepower and 4x4 full synthetic on quite a few oil changes when I was using synthetic.
All this talk about oil reminds me that it's time for me to change mine.

True. I ran synthetic from about 120k to 150k, I wasn't impressed so I changed back. Another thing that I have heard is bad, I see no problems.

yes ive heard the rumor as well about switching back to conventional....i work on cars for a living, and have yet to see one vehicle have problems after switching from synh to conventional....

i used convention because, like stated before, it has detergants that synthetic doesnt thats needed in our engines.

i went off-roading last night....oil psi never dropped below 40 psi. I was winding on my truck at times as well.

got home last night, and i decided to check everything. There are no leaks anywhere, and my oil is still at perfect level.....which IMO is a good sign.

and also it is cmckenn that made me switch, i have lots of info from him about oils that was very interesting to me, so i decided to take his advice.
