Owen: I guess that I should have stated that I asked my local mechanic about using synthetic oil in both my Buick and Ford Ranger. He stated to me that as long as I changed my oil at regular periods, which for me is between three and four thousand miles, that he could see no advantage to using synthetic oil. That the to him he thought it would be a waste of money.

Myself I see no advantage in using synthetic oil. My Ford Ranger using Valvolne Oil with 130,000 miles consumes no oil in between changes and still runs strong.
