I've used synthetic blend oil,
it NEVER made any difference,but I'm not so shore about full synthetic.

(some say it hurts your motor,some say they've had it in their car for over a year & no problems!)?/?

Oil is one of those things that makes a differnce, but its a differnce that you cant tell the effects of. Kinda like insurance, its worth having but its not fail safe. I run mobil 1 synthetic in everything I have.

most people have problems from synthetic because the motor isnt broken in(like putting synthetic in a new car or a freshly built motor).

i'm running mobil 1 synthetic also. when i switched it kinda felt like my engine ran alot smoother, but that could have been some mental thing. 123k

Same here..nothing but Mobil 1 synthetic. I can't remember what magazine it was recently, but a guy wrote to the magazine about the properties and effects of oil....mainly synthetic. I've always used it but after reading that...I know I'm using the right oil. He also said that there were 2 kinds of synthetic...I can't remember too much about it...but he said that mobil 1 is the better sythetic. (he was an oil expert)

Wast of money in an engine that old if it's been running on dino oil all that time.

i tried castrol syntec before but for some reason i got a smoother ride with mobil 1. so i agree
