yes those threads are fine and dandy (and i did a search on "oil" before i made my original post) but none of them are an actual survey to see what kind of oil people are using.. i'm more interested in how many people are using synthetic.. those threads lead me to other conversations like, "have you ever heard of royal purple" .. and one of them leads to a discussion about tranny oil, etc..
i'm just trying to get an idea of how many people use synthetic and if they think it's better or at least safe.
