Status: online Here's my thoughts on the subject I use Royal purple in my Camaro @ $8 a qt. I also use Castrol in my daily drivers @ $2 a qt. I change my oil in my daily drivers @ 3-5K if i were to use a synthetic I would change the oil every 10K with a filter change @ 5K. So with a $5 oil filter my oil changes cost me $45 with a extra qt. and filter @ 5K add $13 for a total of $58 for synthetic. With dino @ $15 every 5K thats $30 every 10K. So in conclusion $30 every 10K for dino, or $58 every 10K for synthetic. I don't see the savings that the AMSOIL guy is talking about.

(in reply to SpaceRider[/align]Like I have said before synthetic is a far better oil, It doesnt brake down near as fast as dino but I can change my dino almost 4-1 for the same $$$, and if you drive over 25K a year it's just not cost effective. I personally have never had a oil related engine problem in 30yrs of driving and have owned 39 vehicles, mostly because I change my oil every 3-5K. I usally keep a vehicle 10+ years and I have had no problem getting 250-300K before the rest of the car is shot. Again Mick this is just my opinion. And if money wasnt a factor I would use synthetic
