        Have to agree massively with Mark and Avi's point.  I have seem
consumption drop ALOT after sticking to Syntec 5w-50 year-round.  Down from
1 qt per 3k change with dino oil to .5 qt per 5k change with synthetic, this
is 20,000 miles after swith to Syntec same grade year-round.  These figures
are in 8.5 qt V8 sump.
