Re: Synthetic oils,fluids question.
As long as you do your changes at reasonable intervals you will be fine
whatever you run. I run synth in my Ford but not in my high mileage Jeep.

Synthetics are great products, but they should not be used if you have an
oil consumption or leakage problem. Synthetics will leak in spots that conventional lubes will not.

They are so hideously expensive that you are likely to get off your hindquarters and fix that doggone leak or consumption issue that you really should have fixed when it was merely wasting dinosaurs. |

Waste of time and money. We are talking about a rough and ready American mass-production engine here, not some high performance European sports sedan. It's like 93 octane gasoline: An absolute waste of cash if you don't really need it. |
Re: Synthetic oils,fluids question.
I would agree... I think spending the money on changing a regular petroleum
based oil 3 times as often is better than big money in synthetics. Besides, the dirt/grit off-road turns both petrol, and synthetic into lapping compound... much better to change often, IMO, for what that is worth. "E.L.
