"I deal with people like you at work all the time who are hard headed and it's hard to get them to vary or try new things" -- Hardheaed huh? Well I deal with seksual intellectuals all day long who think they know MY experience better than me.
",but with synthetic I average around 10,000 miles between oil changes with synthetic and you can't do that with regular oils" -- YES you can, my wifes car does it and has been doing it about 5 years now, reread what I posted before.
"And as far as that sae rating it really does not mean much anymore" --- IT DOES TO ME!
"amsoil does fully support there products and I never had a problem running there oils in a madza I owned for 12 years that is still going strong today with over 400,000 miles on it and the guy that bought it still uses it for a daily driver ." -- Thats good! Im glad it had worked out for you.

My Point is this, I have tried synthetics in everything I own from my $40000 truck, to my free 1969 lawnmower.FOR ME I cant see any benefit to using any synthetic, especially one that isnt available at my local parts store or Autozone or the like, which BTW is where I just picked up 4 gallons of Rotella and a filter to change my oil in my truck.(YES I SAID GALLONS! IT TAKES 15 QUARTS)Whether its cheaper in the long run, or more expesive, Ill continue to do so, and you or anyone else cant convince me to do other wise., unless you pay for the oil! Now, on the flip side to that, I will say that I do use synthetics in transmissions, rear ends and even brakes if I can, since these fluids dont get changed as frequently as MY oil does, so is that a benefit, yes I guess it is, and Im fine with that. This ends my "hardheadedness"!

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
