    With the filter I'll look into it , if I find a # that works I'll pass it on .

    I like Syn's for the winter , and in warmer weather I may use syn or conventional but in winter can't beat the feel of a cold motor start with a Syn
    I never paid much mind as to rules once you use Syn only use it .
    --------------
    I once had a old beat up dodge van 318 . I used mobile one , all I ever did was change the filter each 6 months and top off with mobile one I had the truck 3 years , then gave it to my brother in law who kept up with the same method,
    he had the truck another 6 years
    when he got rid of the truck it was not cause of the motor
    Back in the day AMsoil use to tout never change your oil just your filter so I tried it with the mobile
    -------------
    If you really like your truck of course you will just change it every 5k just cause it makes you feel better.
    I have had autos that I liked so much i meticulous changed oil often. Then I had a run of beaters that all I did was put in the SYN
    change filter and top off . In the extreme of pushing to the limits a SYN is better.
    If spending less and changing more are what conventional oil delvers for you .Thats a hard act to follow also.
    Still wall-mart sells Valvoline or Quaker state SYN for $22 even I see changing that ever 4k to 5 k not wasting money.
    No way will I change a $7 per QT SYN at 4K or 5K but at $4.50 per QT compared to $3.60 with wall-mart price's
    thats changing things with me. even mobile one is around $24 and change at wall-mart .

    Wile franchise auto stores have comparable sale price to normal WMart price , when sales are off they sell conventional oil for more then a Syn at wall-mart.
