Yeah, synthetic may protect better than dino or blend to SOME extent but not enough to be readily noticeable for the average car owner who gets rid of his car at 100,000 or even 200,000 miles. Feel free to use synthetic (hell, I do) but if you're changing your synthetic at anything less than every 10,000 miles (a or less if you're running her hard) then the difference is only in your pocket.

Then those 6 or more cars that I've put over 200,000 miles on that never had any oil related or performance problems using DINO oil (3k-4k mile changes) were just flukes, I suppose
