Yep...from 1955. My wife recently got her oil changed and was scolded for going 5k miles on an oil change (conventional oil).
The conversation went like this....
Undereducated brainwashed tech: Do you realize that you went 5000 MILES on an oil change? Christie: Yes. I decided to bring it in early. Undereducated brainwashed tech: Do you realize how dangerous that is? Do you not care about your car? Christie: My dad told me it would be fine. He knows best. Undereducated brainwashed tech: Your father is wrong. I work in the oil industry and I know what I am talking about. Christie: My dad is the chairman of ILSAC, co-chairman of a few subcommittees of API, and Manager for GM fuel and lubrications department. Undereducated brainwashed tech: What's ILSAC? Christie: Just change my oil.
The moral of the story is that Synthetics are obviously better oils than conventional (this is not even debatable), but if there was even ONE person on here that has any need to run synthetics in their contour, I would literally be stunned (yes, even you Demon). They do last longer, so a bit more money could be justified, but not as much as they charge. If mobile 1 could be found for 2.00 a quart on sale, I would use it. But, I have never found it for that cheap, so I will continue to use the cheapest API certified oil, and never, no matter how hard I drive, have any issues just using conventional.
