Yeah, synthetic is the way to go, but if you've been using dynosour oil
for a while then switching to synthetic *might* cause some very minor
seepage problems. I switched to synth at about 50,000 and developed
some seepage. Not enough that I have to add oil but just enough to make
things look dirty. A small price for the added protection synth gives
you.... IMHO anyway...
