you should really switch to castrol 0w30 or 5w40 instead of using that "hydrocracked" synth

"hydrocracked" synth? The Castrol 5w-30 I'm running is non-synth.

Agree, but it didn't do too bad for 8k.

Yep ... and for what reason .. it works just as well for normal spirited driving.
It's all a marketing ploy.
They're making millions off of 3K oil changes and saying "to get all you can get out of a motor you MUST use synthetic". Now you drag race/track folks might need the extra stuff synthetic has to offer. |
