[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 964420, member: 61743"] Synthetic lasts longer and may give some infinitesimal increase in mpg. Holds up better in very hot and very cold temps. It is "better" but it's a matter of how much more do you want to pay for "better"? On oil run for 6000 miles or less you will see little to no difference in a used oil analysis between Motorcraft Blend, Pennzoil, or Havoline, and Mobil 1 or another synthetic. I use Blackstone Labs for UOA's occasionally like Todd Z. I have been running Mobil 1 0w-30 Advanced Fuel Economy almost every oil change since I got the Trac new. The UOA's are fine. I am going to run it for 7500 miles this time and see what the UOA says. [/QUOTE]
