The topic asks it all. I see people post on here all the time about changing their oil every 3K, saying they use(d) synthetic oil. What's the point? Hell, I don't even change conventional oil every 3K!! On my '98 GMC C1500 w/ the 4.3, I changed it every 4k-ish with dino oil. (I say "ish" because I never wrote the mileage down, just tried to remember.) I sold it with 242K on the clock when I bought the TB. Now that I have an OLM, I'll use it this first change and switch to synthetic and then maybe go 2 rounds of the OLM with the synthetic in.
Is it that you don't trust the synthetic to do what synthetics are supposed to do? Then why use it? If you are changing every 3K, buy dino oil and use that extra money for dinner with the wife or a case of good beer.
Just something I've always wanted to ask. Thanks for indulging me.
