So my take Trajan is, if you follow oil change intervals, that are not outrageously long, then you should have no issues. This also requires the owner to keep up on maintenance.
This is a disposeable society today and cars along with just about everything else is marketed for a quick turnover. So people don't necessarily take care of what they own.
Todays modern dino oils are more than up to the task. If the car is spec'd for synthetic then use it. If the area in which you live in see's extreme's then it is of benefit.
My advice to someone reading these posts is don't listen to the hype, or the shill's who are close to being banned from this site. We know who those people (person) are/is.
If that's your advice Nuke........then why don't you put cheap dino oil in your 75 vette,and all your mustangs.
Why do you use the group IV synthetic that I have been touting as being superior,but go on to say mineral is fine.
Why do you tell everyone that mineral oil is fine..........but I don't see you using it in your precious cars. The ratty little beater truck you claim to drive doesn't count.
I want to see you put that cheapo Dino oil in your cars,then tell us its good enough. Put your money where your mouth is like I do.
Until then.....you are a hypocrite,just playing games,or lying. Which is it??
Here is the group IV stuff you seem to have plenty of and only use in your cars...but then go on and tell everyone group II/III is good enough to use,even though you won't use it.

I know how to use the search function, but as a new member I want to get my posts up, so I can post pics of my new ride.
Any recommendations or explanations, of why you use your particular oil, is appreciated..Thanks Guys.
