Synthetic Oil
#2
What are you looking to improve?
Fuel mileage? mabye a little.
Cooler running..probably some
longer drain intervals...most definitely
Syns can offer some advantages. Depends on what you are looking to gain. If your'e one to change oil every 3-5k no matter what oil, then the gain is minimal, but possible.

-Less Engine wear than mineral oil
-Thermical heat stability, if you are hard on your engine
-engine is much cleaner inside, no residues or contaminants inside the engine. Usually if you wipe off the oil, the metal is clean.
-Look at the Synthetic Oils like an insurance without the hassle of an agent.
-Maybe you will gain a 2% up to 3% mileage improvement
In my opinion reasons enough to go with Synthetics, if you don't mind the extra costs.

I'm a Mobil 1 fan as far as synthetics go. I got better protection from the Mobil then Amsoil.
Now after running synthetic oil vs dino, the things I noticed was longer oil change intervals and about a $15.00 savings on oil changes.
-3 gallons of synthetic, $100.00 = 15k oil change intervals, oil filter $6.00
-3 gallons of Delo 400, $36.00 = 5k oil change intervals, oil filter $6.00x3 = $18.00
And then there's your time of doing the oil change.
