What has been anyones experience with synthetic oils? Are they worth it??

 

yes

 

yes

 

how much more does it really cost? $6?

 

most syn oils and synblend oils are more than good enough for our cars. but since i'm a overkill kinda guy, I use amsoil atm 10w-30. at about 7-8$ a QT. redline is also good syn oil. mobil 1 is easy to find, and is very good oil for the price. go for it

 

Overwhelmingly I hear yes but what perceivable advantages did people actually experience??

 

i once went 2 years without an oilchange in my 92 civic hatch (155k miles) with mobil1 full synthetic. after i finally changed it i felt a noticeable increase in acceleration.
changed the oil in it last night for the first time since april. car runs perfect.

 

I felt my car to have a little more power, and the peace of mind that I'm using the best motor oil I can get. it last longer between changes, flows better when cold.
I should think that a 9k rpm, 240hp two liter engine needs the best oil available IMHO. have you read the oil journals? theres much info on this subject. read and decide for yourself, if its worth it.

 

oil journals? You mean oil company reports?
