Default RE: Oil?

I just hit 75k miles.... should I switch to synthetic? I know what the difference is between the two oils, but Don't see how switching would hurt/help much either way now....

I agree Synth is better. Well... Actually i dont care. I dont have actuall PROOF that synth is better. I just follow the crowd. lol.... No i get it free at work so i use it BBBWWWWHHAHAHAHA!!!!


The most miles I had on an organic motor before changing over was 75,000 in my vette's 350... went with synthetic and it ran sweet, no leaks, no blow-by, valves were happy.
^^^^^ Personally i would question this. Im not sure how you stopped leaks with a thinner oil? Synth is thinner making it get rid of SOME parisitic loss's But i mean its not a huge difference, but i will say that it seems to leak through the lil places between gaskets.
