I run synthetic oil in everything, except for my wifes 98 5.4 triton. she likes to use napa 5-30 in her baby so thats what it gets
In my idi delo 5-40. I tried switching back to conventional once, and never again. I noticed harder starts on summer days compared to the synthetic. That was enough to sell me on going back to synthetic. I run about 5-7K miles on my idi before I change it. Whatever works out to about a year, because that is about the miles that get put on it.
My 91 honda accord, with 250K ish on it and 5-30 mobil1 burns about a qt between 7500 mile oil changes. I have only ran synthetics in it since I got it(200K ish), so I dont know any different. Most honda owners say with synthetics they burn between 1-2 qts on synthetic
wifes 2010 hyundai elantra same bag of chips mobil 1 5-30 and I love it. done me well
The way I figure it, if i can make the engine work less hard to pump it, move it around, cause less parasitic draw (thinner oil) and make it better lubricated then by golly it is worth it for the cost over conventional. I want my engines to be as healthy as possible, so I will buy oil to help that.
and my only complaint with rotella that i have heard over and over is oil consumption because they changed the formula like 5-6 years ago.
