Synthetic vs Petroleum

Next to bafflectomy posts it seems oil posts are the second most revisited of late so to that end................

What type of engine lubrication do you use?


I use Amsoil

I've used both and find synthetic more reliable than petroleum. It is easier to predict the lifespan of the engine.

I have never had a mechanical failure due to an oiling issue.
The lifespan of an engine is decided by many factors and not just the type of oil that is used.
I have used both regular and synthetic oil and for my needs regular oil is sufficient and the added cost of synthetic is unjustified.
