This is way off the subject, but:

I use synthetics in severe service conditions. During winter, I run Mobil 1
10w30 in my 5.0L Ford Engine. It makes the car MUCH easier to start when the
temp drops below zero.

I also use synthetics in motorcycles, since the engine and transmission
use the same oil. Mobil 1 lasts twice as long as the organic equivalents.
My Kawasaki Ninja can take organic oil and turn it into something similar to
water in less than 1000 miles. Synthetics usually last 2K miles.
