Did you know that religious wars have killed more people than all other wars combined?

I had other P-cars before and if the engine was not rebuilt with new seals, bearings etc., it is better to use regular, non-synthetic type of oil for the main reason that synthetic oil flows better and will get into the seals and such. So if you have older engines that is already leaking or using up oil between oil changes, it is not advisable to use synthetic for this reason as the leaks or oil consumption will be worsen. If you have a new engine then after the first regular oil change using normal oil, it is a good idea to use synthetic for the remainder of its service. Synthetic oil by design offers better protection with regards to wear and tear, and heat dissipation ability for rotating components and especially under heavy load- the engine can go further between oil change while offers better wear protection. Just rambling here but I hope this make sense.

WTF does that have to do with anything?

I can just imagine oil engineers from various oil companies laughing their heads off if they were reading the multitude of oil threads from all the car forums running on the internet.
