[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 877928, member: 52972"] You can get better gas mileage with synthetics, but it is not the synethic oil that improves mileage it's the various friction modifiers that are blended into the oil that give you the added MPG...althought this may be hyped up in commercials. I have always gotten better mileage in all my cars for the past 10 years after switching from dino oil to synthetics. The advantage of better heat tolerance and longer change intervals with synthetics is what I found worth the switch. You can easily drive 3-4 times as far between oil changes for only about the cost of 2 oil changes with conventional oil...so there is a savings there too. If you use synthetic oil and changing it every 3000-6000 miles, you are probably wasting your money, and would better off with conventional dino oil. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
