None ever wore out. If you change your oil and filters regularly there is no
real advantage to synthetic oil.

It would have made your engines last longer than they they did with
conventional oil.

I've never had and engine failure either. That's not the point. The
point
is, do you want your rings and bearings worn out and ready for the junk
yard
at 150,000 miles or at 500,000 miles.

Synthetic oil is definitely much better than conventional oil. My
boat
has
a Volvo engine and I use nothing but synthetic in the engine and in
the
outdrive. I also use nothing but synthetic in my truck.

The way I see it, if you take care of it, it will take care of you.

I have been driving for 34 years and boating for 14 years. I have never
used
synthetic oil.

I have never had an engine failure except one raw water cooled inboard
that
corroded out after 6 years and 1300 hours in salt water.

What would synthetic oil have done for me during all that time except
cost
a
lot of money?
