These are all questions you should be asking yourself when making this decision...
I don't understand.
My point was -- if you have no issue spending money for the "best" parts for your car, then what's the problem with spending a few extra dollars for the best oil? It is such a small expense compared to the other costs.
Your fallacy is using the words "best oil". Best oil for what? That money can buy? For low temp startup protection? For high temp deposit formation? In his application, the realized benefit of a high quality synthetic are nil. Except that it costs more. So why spend the extra money? It's like springing for premium octane when all your car needs is 87. As dnewton3 said, what is the ROI?
