The visible difference between dyno oil and synthetic oil is varnish build
up. You change it every 1800 miles to get rid of the impurities and acids
that build up in the engine but I don't know that you can eliminate the
varnish. I change the synthetic every 5,000-6,000 miles including the K&N
oil filter. There is no varnish in my engine.

Keith,
There are several "good" filters out there. DML'ers have there favorite.
K&N, Mobil 1, Purlolator are some of the more popular ones. Especially
if you run Syn Oil.
I never converted to Syn Oil because I change oil much too often.
After reading several messages and looking at some Web Sites
I decided to use the AC Delco PF13 on my '97 5.2.
I did cut the first one I used in half and it looks like a good filter and
did the job it was supposed to do. I have changed oil and filter every
1,800 miles since the truck was new. I now have 88,000 on her.
That's a lot of oil changes (heh, heh).
