But people aren't complete idiots. There's good reason they are willing to pay a lot more for synthetic--it's a much better quality of oil.
Kind of like cigars--what would you rather smoke, an expensive Cuban Monte Cristo for the finest smoking pleasure or a cheap White Owl that only costs 1/5 as much. --snip--
Synthetic is not just about extended drains--it makes the whole engine run more efficiently. You get better gas mileage, slightly more horsepower, and I believe, about half as much engine wear under demanding conditions-- even compared to today's better dino's.
Well I'd say that no most are not idiots, about their cars, well Yes, most are. I am, maybe about the mechanics an idiot, others it's the oil. Most I think go by ADS and not an informed decision.

A cuban CuabaGenerosa-or anything (my favorite) or [Vegas Robaina- anything, Romeo&Julieta Hermoso#1, LaGloria-anything,](my second favorites) or Punch double corona, Partagas series D#3 or a #2.... HUmmm that's a good start.
Syns are not the only animal that do Ex-Drains.
And there are many more I would wager if I were a betting man, cars with 300-400-500-600-etc that have relied on Dino!
Sure they are good, but also they can creat problems of their own,,, Like when A seal leaks, it will pour-out like it's not there with a Syn, and a Dino very often gives you much warning.
Something to think about.
