So no, it doesn't win in my book.
I use havoline 30HD and change it every 700-800miles.

800 miles to an oil change? Well, whatever floats your boat.
I also use Mobil-1 and change it about every 5K-7K without ANY drawbacks, and I've been doing it for a LONG time. Synthetic is worth every penny.

Re: synthetic to regular oil
Yes i am a bit **** but its usually because i am a bit tough on my engines, and they are always like new for it. Besides they tend to get very dirty here... I change it on my bikes at 600-800 miles. Still.... when the engine is pushing it...you should help your engine on every bit. Mobil one will NOT last more than 3k miles for me. PERIOD.

Re: synthetic to regular oil
I did not find any definitive evidence to suggest that synthetic is superior or inferior on their website.
The only reason they presented for not using synthetic was because the additives made it hard to test for problems with the engine.
Instead of just linking to the website, perhaps you should consider linking to an article that supports your theory.

Their responses were better, and much more encouraging when I used the regular Havoline oil. The oil was cleaner every time. The car I am talking about has 93k on it. I also do the reports on the 99 TA and the 95 V6. When I bought the 99 TA, it had synthetic in it, and I did a sample off of it.
It had shown more metal in the sample. When I put the Havoline in it, the reports were much more encouraging wear-wise. I used to dog people that used regular oils, as I was very faithful to AmsOil, AND their filters.
I am getting ready to leave for the day, but I will try to check my email tonight, if you want to see a sample report.
