Yup, a lot of haters around here -- that's for sure.

Truthfully it’s not going to matter. The big draw to synthetic oils these days is how they allow for a lot more mileage between changes, like ten to twenty thousand miles. But conventionals will hold up absolutely fine just sitting for a year with a few miles on it. It’s not going to make a difference either way, so you might as well just save a few bucks by going conventional.

But maybe with the low miles you put on the additives won't be a concern.

What synthetic has a 'good rust additive package'?

The car is in the garage and is part of the house so it never gets too hot or too cold. I live close to Portland in SW WA.

Exactly this, Dino or Magnatec.
