Anyone switch to synthetics and stay switched?

I've only switched in the cars... no problems at all.
According to the local
mechanic, you can mix oil and synth without problems.


I've used one quart of Castrol synthetic to 3 quarts of Castrol
mutigrade changed each 4000 mile interval since new,
for over 300 k miles on two festivas, where the engines
work for a living.

Brian Whatcott Altus OK



Not to be picky, but why a mix of synthetic and multigrade?
