When I change my oil I use synthetic exclusively, and I never have a problem when I go over 3000 (Oil is never overly sludgey, no knocking or hearing lifters.... etc). I won't run it to 5,000, usually 4,000.

But in doing this, you have to make sure once you go Syn you stay syn.....as I have heard you can have problems switching back.

Syn is expensive but I swear by it and cars are more expensive if they break down..... if a car knocked or burnt oil when I bought it, first thing I do is get a Syn oil change and the problem goes away.

PS after watching the Lube Stop post ( here: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=105580) if you do not change you own oil make sure the people you take it to are legit and truly using Syn. as the cost is almost double normal oil.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
