Why is that Squid? From what I read, the 3k mile rule is obsolete considering the advancements in lubrication technology.I think it's better to use regular oil and change it at smaller intervals than running expensive synthetic for extended periods.

It took millions of years to become oil, an now it deteriorates?It's not so much that it's obsolete, as it is that it's not a requirement. The reality is all oil (dino juice or synthetic) deteriorates.

Yes, when combusting gasses are pushed though it.It took millions of years to become oil, an now it deteriorates?
Its not the 70's anymore squid. You've said some some things over the years showing a general lack of ..... but this is right up there. Do some 21st century research. Most syn oil is in better shape after 10K than your old dino oil after 2K. Engine tolerances are vastly improved etc Nuff said. Do some research or stick to the computer stuff.I think it's better to use regular oil and change it at smaller intervals than running expensive synthetic for extended periods.
your kidding right? you dont run conventional in your evora do you? There is a reason synthetic oils only used in racing. And at the end of the day we are talking about minimal $$ investment on oil changes. What is the difference like $2-5 a quart? So that is "expensive synthetic"? This engine doesnt even require special weight like some engines (10w60 for BMW M engines). At the end of the day your saying you would rather use an inferior product that will not protect the engine internals as much in the long run WHILE deposing of bad oil twice as much. Its the same mentality of the people saying they fill up their exotic car with regular every time because "i've never ran premium before why start now."I think it's better to use regular oil and change it at smaller intervals than running expensive synthetic for extended periods.
There are several good reasons to use synthetic over conventional oil, including extended change intervals. One of the most comvincing to me is pour point.I think it's better to use regular oil and change it at smaller intervals than running expensive synthetic for extended periods.
