This may have been covered before, but I didn't find what I was looking for when I searched. My wife has a new Explorer with about 7,000 miles on it, so it's broke in. I'm thinking of going to a synthetic oil for the alleged reduced friction it provides. This should in turn help the mileage, which is poor for a 6 cylinder IMHO. What I don't know is if the sybnthtics really work and what the change interval is. I've heard 8-10,000 miles vs. 3-5,000 for regular oil. Anyone have any real knowledge on this?

Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
