I don’t know who you’re replying to but a lot of comments make no sense lately.
It’s way past time for conventional oil to whither away.

Somehow I’m not so sure you’re new here.I'm new here, so I don't know... Are you kidding or serious? On the other hand, it's not surprising "conventional" is being phased out, given that we're into the 3rd decade of the 21 century. I think even Russian people use synthetic blend in their 80s Ladas these days. Why would anyone in a 1st world country such as United States use and SEEK OUT conventional in their late 90s and onwards Fords and Chevys is quite bewildering and embarrassing. I myself have a 80s design German car, and it doesn't care about the type of oil, just viscosity. An S10 Chevy being picky between conventional, semi-synth, or synthetic? If I had chickens, even they would find it funny
I don't know why anybody would run conventional when synthetics are as cheap as they are. Even without a Costco membership for their ultra cheap Kirkland, ST used to be like $14 for 5 qts synthetic.
An oil with the same API ect ratings is an oil of the same ratings, no matter how it is made. Nothing is better for the application outlined in the owners manual unless proven.I don’t understand the gushing for conventional oil when synthetic is available at a competitive price and is much better for modern engines.
I dont know why someone would run any oil that doesnt meet the API ect recommendations of the engine maker.I don't know why anybody would run conventional when synthetics are as cheap as they are.

OnlineWell it’s not fully gone went to Walmart tonight and got two quarts of Havoline 10W-30 it’s for my grandmas mower. They had that in conventional and that was it Havoline only. Not even SuperTech conventional. So me and my dad are going to all the Walmart’s tomorrow to clean it all out because we don’t want synthetic in our old stuff.
You do know that there is a paper gasket between the sump and sump plate, right?I’m serious. They don’t have an oil filter it’s just a sump plate at the bottom and it leaks. They are known for it. They always say if it doesn’t leak it’s not a Volkswagen.
Yes I know there is. I change them each time.You do know that there is a paper gasket between the sump and sump plate, right?
Change it when you change the oil and it'll stop leaking. Then you can use synthetic anytime you want!
Walmart had ST conventional on the shelves yesterday. It's the new Advanced 20K synthetic stuff I can't find in the stores.

Embarrassing?? And you ask if others are trolls (provocateurs), LOL.
Well, Blake sad to say most conventional are going way of synblend route. Unless you have what pops has or PYB 20w20 and SAE 40 etc from 1968 “with Z-7 additive” in cardboard cansI always tell people do what they prefer. I’m not one to like advancements especially to do with cars. Like the reason most of my cars are older is because they have real keys and run better and aren’t full of electronics like this modern stuff that I’m not a fan of. Same with synthetic oil I have cleaned my older engines just fine with conventional so I don’t feel there is a need for synthetic.
