I changed my dino to synthetic at 13,000 miles - now indicating 85,600 mi - have not looked back. Using Napa Synthetic (usually) 10W-30 and a 1060 Gold 1Qt filter.

I run Mobil 1 with a 2 QT oil filter NAPA , 10/30

I run castrol synthetic with a two quart filter, does great.

Thanks to you all.

ditto, Mobil 1, 5-30W with NAPA 1060 gold filter. I'll just say "it improved" gas milage to eliminate any aguments on how much.

Also changed to Synthetic Tranny fluid.....

how often do you change the syntheic compared to regular oil

I am happy with Mobil 1 Truck/SUV, 5 qts at Wal Mart for about $25. Changed once a year just before the two month winter hibernation. Rotella 5w40 synthetic in the generator, same schedule. The toad gets Penz 10w30. Three different engines. Three different needs. Three different oils.
