A guy at a Chevy dealer told me they thought a synthetic blend or conventional ( they use a Quaker State product) has some benefits if you change it frequently. He said they really didn't recommend Mobil 1 except in Corvettes or the like. Maybe there are more natural solvents but I would think they would boil off. So you change it.
I normally use something like Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Synthetic but I've used a syn blend a couple of times in my other car as it gets little use so I change it around 3k miles anyway.
That oil was really dirty when I drained it.
Synthetic is supposed to be much better in cold weather. It coats the parts well.
It is also more stable in high temperatures than conventional oil.
I wonder exactly what brand if oil that dealer uses? Synthetic isn't that much more expensive at most stores. Maybe they get a real good deal on barrels of something.
