The recent threads on Walmart's new 5k, 10k and 20k ST oils got me thinking. If you were in middleee market for a new (used) car...let's say a typical family/commuter car like a 5 to 7 year old Camry, Accord, Fusion etc...with about 100k....would you be more interested in one that had 5k dino OC's...10k regular synthetic OC's or 15k+ OC's on 'Advanced Synthetic' like Mobil AP/EP, Castrol Gold Edge EP, etc. We'll assume it had about 20k a year with 75% highway driving and filters suited to the oil used? (in other words everything else being equal except for the oil and filter being used...ie: a Fram orange with the dino...a TG with the synthetic...an Ultra with the EP/AP)
