i have seen to many issues with synthetic to ever reccomend it to anyone, i really do not like it at all. I don't care if it is worth .004 HP, it is not worth taking the chance...

thats because pennzoil breaks down too fast.... i worked at a 10 minute pennzoil place and seen many problems, alot of people would bring there own oil in.

I have never heard anyone have problems with synthetic oil. The biggest complaint I ever heard was if you already had a leak it will leak a little more, but synthetic oil doesn't cause the leak. I run it in my bike, mustang, and t-type and not one leaks oil. And any engine builder should know that you can't break a motor in on synthetic oil or you will have problems.

I swear by it because one time I snapped the oil pump driveshaft while racing and didn't know until I was on the return road and the lifters were tapping. I pulled the motor to check it and it looked like it did when I put it together. And my car is driven hard on the street and at the track. If you have problems I'm sure it's not the oil.

I use Castrol Syntec 5w50 in Stang and I put it in my Camaro before winter. Most other I use Castrol GTX. I bought some Buy One Get One at Advance of Penzoil and Quaker State, that Ive put into my S-10 Blazer. It will find leaks. I didn't know I had a leak in my 8.8, until I switched to synthetic gear oil and it leaked out. My jeep will be all synthetic, engine tranny, transfer case, and power steering. And will switch the tranny and rear in the stang after break in.
