I am considering making the switch to sythethic. The current sale Napa is running on their brand synth has me wondering if there really are any benefits to synthetic. Does it really add HP or an increase in perceived additional power? Does it really improve MPG and provide for better cold starts? Is synth really all that good or is it just hype or personal preference?
I had been using Maxlife and 2 OCI's ago I changed to the NAPA brand HM 10W30, and have always used ProSelect filters with a 3000 mile OCI. I have had no problems but if synth really is all that much better I might change my ways. If I went to synth I would probably use a Napa Gold filter and go to a 5000 mile OCI.
I have 103,000 miles on my truck, it's a 2001 Dodge Dakota with the 3.9 V6. Is it OK to switch from dino/synth blends to full synth at that mileage?
I'm sure all this has been asked before and I tried a search on it, but did not have much luck with it. I appreciate the help.
