Better engine protection vs. drips in the driveway was what I was commenting on.

Since I posted earlier about switching back to dino after the leaks developed (and I 'assume' you might be referring to my post), we'll just have to disagree
. I don't for a minute believe that I'm getting any less protection changing the dino oil every six months. I never see the temperature extremes where synthetics might provide 'better' protection imo. I've had a couple of top notch mechanics (who know more about these cars than I ever will) recommend what I now use (Kendal GT1 20W50). I think it's more important to do frequent changes (due to the hydroscopic/hygroscopic properties of oil), and with all that being said...I'd rather NOT have leaks
