Re: Synthetic Oil
Synthetic oils naturally have fewer contaminants, flow better at start/lower temps and even have higher stability at very high temps. With your mileage, if you've been running conventional oil for the life of your car, it probably doesn't matter a whole hell of a lot- but it wouldn't necessarily hurt the car at all to switch oils. Personally, synthetic is all I'll use from the get go- but I know some older car guys (race/drag types) who prefer conventional oils. This is probably because they worry about the synthetics under high stress. With today's stuff, though, it's not really a problem at all- it's just a matter of gearheads who are reluctant to change, you know?
There are plenty of facts out there to back it up- Google it.
