Hmmm. lets see now....I didnt experience any benefits spending 2x as much for synth in the summer. The winter is a totally different story.

Synthetic oil with the extended oil changes is cheaper than dino. I used Mobil 1 synthetic in my '98, changed every 7,500 miles and it was cheaper than dino in my '85 every 3k.
