RE: Oil Change
If you've got the time and stamina for it, this article goes into detail on oils and why the author prefers synthetics. The short version, though, is that synthetics don't have the contaminants that 'dino' oils do which can cause sludge and build-up, and a smaller portion of the total volume of synthetics are additives, hence synthetics have more actual lubricant per unit of volume than 'dino' oils.
It's an interesting read if you're curious.

Very nice informational Link! Thanks for posting that. I do however think his 12k dino oil break in period is a bit off.
