<VV> Re: Oils

Hhhmmmmm?  Would I rather put oil in my rare engine that came from dirt and 
dinosaurs, or something nice and clean from the mysterious world of science... 
.? I too had a positive experience with synthetic oil in a 160K+ miles 
Explorer. I was getting some oil usage and occasional low oil pressure under load. I 
switched to a blend (cheaper than total) synthetic and saw some improvement, 
so this last time at 170K I bit the bullet and bought some full stuff on sale 
and have not seen the oil pressure needle drop out of the middle yet....I did 
notice an oil stain on the driveway, but haven't had a chance to check the 
cause.

I've never heard of oil comsumption going DOWN after switching to 
synthetic, but I have heard of it 
going up.
