>>>I don't think synthetics warrent longer oil change intervals.
It's a great country, and everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.
Why do you change oil, two big reasons, remove accumulated contaminates and renew depleated additives. The synthetic base stock may hold up better but are the additives any better?
In most cases, the additives are at least as good. In some cases, particularly where the oil is designed to be an extended drain oil, the additive package is much better. I suggest you go to http://www.amsoil.com and poke around a bit. Most of the "dirt" removed when one drains non-synthetic oil is not really dirt, but the results of the oxidation of the oil itself.
