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.

i may have no "reason", but that means you don't think a smoother idle, longer lasting engine is a reason. when i switched, i noticed the smoother idle (heck, i even noticed when i did my second mobil1 change, (first one gets dirtier than normal) even over my belt squeaking, i could hear and feel the smoother idle) my atx feels a bit better after putting in mobil1 atf. i trust mobil1 products. i feel the difference and know they're good for my car. i think they're well worth the cost. (cheapest i got mobil1 5w-30 $3.75 per qt., though can't find it that cheap anymore). once you go synthetic, you'll never go back.
