I've been using AMSOIL in my Saabs for over 20 years. The guy who works on my cars (what I dont/won't do) has been running AMSOIL in his cars for about 18 years. >Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using a synthetic? Yeah, I know it costs more. Better winter starts, cooler summer running, less wear, better protection in case of overheating, (usually) better fuel economy. If you use aMSOIL with the extended drain, the cost per mile is much less than with non-synthetic. Dick in Falls Church, VA Using and selling AMSOIL (First in Synthetics) over 20 years
