Default RE: synthetic oils

I wouldn't say they're stipulations anymore before switching over. There's a new breed of synthetics out now designed for leaky higher mileage engines.

I don't know if you're locked in forever after making the switch, but I've heard it's not encouraged to go back to regular dino oils after running a synthetic. The added price of synthetics is worth it to me. Besides decreasing engine (or tranny, rear end, T-case) wear, I've noticed a slight drop in engine temp and an increase in mileage with synthetics.

A lot of people swear by Amsoil when it comes to sythetics, but I'm a Mobile 1 man myself. It's cheaper than Amsoil, and does the job just as well in my opinion.
