There are motors running around with 300K on them using dino oil. Synthetics have their place but for the majority of consumers they are unnecessary. I just wish I could go down to O'Reilly's and pick up Amsoil instead of having to join what seems like Amway to buy it! I only responded to this thread as I am trying to get to 2000 posts!
Actually, you may be able to get it at Orielly's now, since they merged with Murray's Auto Parts. My friend sells AMSOIL to Murray's, so you may want to go in and ask them.

Well said and you are absolutely correct in my opinion.

Man this debate can go on forever..synthetic vs conventional.

If I did not know anything about oil...I would just use the manufacturer's product (ie Merc semi synthetic 25W-40) and live a happy stress free life.

...but then there is M-1 V-Twin and Amsoil 20W-50...alas
