Dino or Synthetic

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

Cause it tastes grrrreat!

If the people voting for "who the **** is Winfred" actually use dino, plus those confirmed... there are a lot of you still using it!

For the weekly oil change guy... your engine may still get more wear using brand new dino, than old syn. - so your weekly change seems a little outrageous, even if it is free!

Are any of you aware there is speculation that petroleum is NOT bio based but is a product of geology? Isn't the prevailing science that oil is derived from decayed plant and animal life, hence Dino(saur) ?This book http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=1769 says the following;

In "Black Gold Stranglehold," Jerome Corsi and Craig Smith expose the fraudulent science that has made America so vulnerable: the belief that oil is a fossil fuel and that it is a finite resource. This book reveals the conclusions reached by Dr. Thomas Gold, a professor at Cornell University, in his seminal book "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of Fossil Fuels" (Copernicus Books, 1998) and accepted by many in the scientific community that oil is not a product of fossils and prehistoric forests but rather the bio-product of a continuing biochemical reaction below the earth's surface that is brought to attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth's rotation.

Still the Manufacturer recommends Synth right ? So why should i assume i know better?

I use 20w50. I just rolled 252252 miles and with no loss of oil what so ever. And after 5k the oil is still very amber colored. I am VERY impressed with this engine(m30).
