How did you put all those miles on a gas rig and not have major repairs?
Also, just to set the record kinda straight, it's really not oil made from dinos but crushed vegatation. You see, dinos were actually in pretty short supply but the green stuff is actually where majority of the crude stuff comes from. It would take a lot of dinos to make a barrel of crude if that were truely the case. So, next time you see a gasoline ad on TV or in a magazine saying something like "conserving the stuff made from the dinosaurs", you can chuckle a little and just think how gulable people must be.
I wish I could buy synthetic oil for $5.00 a gallon! I'd change it more often even if I didn't really need to. But I guess those fords need more maintenance huh? I run synthetic to help improve my fuel mileage and you can look up the thread on mileage if you're interested in what I get runnin both empty and loaded.
I really didn't think too much about saying something about synthetic, I guess I just assumed it was an open topic and synthetic was an option. I haven't run crude for months and months. The synthetic has much better resistance to coking and oxidation than regular oil does. I figured the turbo was the most delicate component and if it's spinnin hot when I shut it down, the extra protection from the synthetic components in the oil would be put to good use. Also, the synthetic doesn't really "wear out", so running the bypass filter is certainly a benefit to keeping the stuff clean.
Good stuff though, I really like the fact we can argue and discuss this stuff without hurtin anybodys feelings. Do you run synthetic in you other oil assemblies? Like diff and trans?
