RE: Time for an Oil Change, an opposite opinion

All,
Yes I have considered those synth. blends but one of the main benefits of
synth. IMO is extended oil change intervals (I do my oil changes myself and
my time is valuable).  I usually go 6K-7K miles between changes.  I'm not
sure I would trust those blends for extended intervals.
