Default RE: synthetic oil

I used synthetics for years and believe they do protect much better than conventionals. That being said, I also believe that conventionals will work perfectly well if youre only planning on keeping your car 150,000 or so miles. If youre not wanting to keep your car for 10+ years then the benefit of synthetics wont really be seen as any good quality conventional will protect your engine just fine for 150,000-175,000 miles.
