[QUOTE="Hondac, post: 1276078, member: 13850"] Several years back, I attended a seminar on lubricants. A lubrication engineer with one of the big 4 oil companies was answering questions. When asked about synthetic motor oil, his response which I will attempt to recall was: (he was speaking to people from Kentucky and Tennessee) " synthetic oils have a definite benefit in extremely cold areas and extremely hot areas " however , he did not see any benefit for folks in Ky. or Tn. climates. While synthetic oils do offer a longer drain interval (before oxidation begins), his opinion that DIRT was the primary enemy of the engine, not oxidation. Therefore, he felt that all oils needed to be changed based on the environment the engine was operating in with regard to dust, etc. [/QUOTE]
