Type of Synthetic oil

I too believe there are worth while advantages to using synthetic oil. I prefer Pennzoil Ultra and OEM filter.

I've never used synthetic under the expectation of better fuel mileage or higher performance. I use it for its superior ability to clean and protect under extreme conditions. I've seen plenty of sludged engines, and even a couple of coked turbos in my life and stay away from conventional oil because of those two side-effects. If you believe that conventional oil isn't capable of sludging a modern engine, google the Toyota Camry V6 sludging issue and look for pictures. It's unreal. Yes, the sludging issue was traced back to a flaw in the engine, but synthetic oils were prescribed by Toyota to alleviate the issue. They prevent coking and sludging, and resist thermal breakdown better than any conventional oil.

I only use the premium purolator filter on my cars but I did make the switch to mobile1. I used 5w30 since I do a lot of short hops and a short drive to work.
