>>>Synth is Cheaper, and I'll bet that the dino oilers
will have to add a couple of quarts in 40,000 mi, since
dino oil boils away under normal use, and synth does not.<<<

Cheaper?! Get real!
Plus, 9,000 mile oil changes will get you out of warranty real fast...synth
or not. Unless something's changed, Chrysler does NOT offer exceptions for
synth oil.
"Oil boils away"?!!! Sure.

If synth costs 4 times as much, you'd have to go 4 times the interval
between changes to just break even (20-30,000 miles per fill)

No gold star for math here :-)
