Friction and wear are very different things. Not seeing better MPG doesn't mean it's not better for the engine. The proof is out there for the viewing. If you don't plan on keeping the car past 100K miles, use conventional.
Should have listened...synth made NO difference!

So what happens at the 100k mark if you use conventional oil? Not sure what you're saying, many cars have gone 200k + on conventional oils.

I guess I'd better tell my 200k, 300k and almost 400k motors which saw conventional oil that they should be worn out...
You need to spend more time READING this site for the "proof" that shows conventional oils are fine for how ever long you want to keep the vehicle running. And the engine will be just fine.

a month. I am a VERY easy, conservative driver with a feather touch on brake ans accelerator.
With 39,700 miles, I still have about 15, 000 miles on life left
on the front pads.
Brother, your the only Jersey driver I know like this then!
