switching to synthetic oil

[Bill Rowe]

i'm no oil expert, but i'm of the opinion that no one synthetic offers any
SIGNIFICANT benefit over the other, regardless of the hyped-up marketing.  i
use wal-mart's synthetic and i bet you it's packaged at the same facility
that packages mobil 1 or pennzoil.  only difference is packaging and of
course a LOWER PRICE!

I have run Mobil 1 in my previous A4QM Avant.  I am now driving a new A4Q
Avant that has dealer-installed Pennzoil 15W40 oil.  I would like my dealer
to drain the oil when I go in for a January servicing and replace it with
the Pennzoil synthetic 15W40 that they use in the Porsches they sell and
service.  I don't anticipate any problems with making the switch.  Anyone
care to argue that I should go back to Mobil 1 -- which held me in good
stead with my old Avant -- rather than go with the dealer's Pennzoil
synthetic?

Nope...hate arguments...a Canadian thing.
But since I live in the boonies, I have to ask when did Penn come out with
a synthetic 40.  I know and use their 5W and 10W30 but wasn't aware they
had 15W40 except in their Long-Life line which I use in the JD.
Just curious, since I like their products (personal preference).
