Ding..ding..ding!
We have the winning post.
If we assume that a synthetic oil has any advantages, then why not use it for the same or less coin?
Considering the cars in my sig, 2 have FAR syn in them, one has $12.15/jug syn, another has FAR syn blend while the spendthrift oil was TGMO at $3.64/qt.
Deals abound, so why not take advantage of them?
Of course, traveling too far down this path soon leads to a few hundred quarts of FAR or really cheap oil.
Probably not a bad thing, if you have enough vehicles to maintain.
We have two more than will fit in my sig, so I may qualify.
