the most expensive syns are normally "proper" synthetic the cheaper ones aint usually, even though its legal to market them as "synthetic" http://faq.f650.com/FAQs/OILFAQ.htm#Mineral%20vs.%20Synthetic:%20The%20“Fac ts” be carefull what your actually buying a lot of people dont realise this fact, for eg mobil 1 is pure syn ,valvoline synpower isnt (having said that its still a excellent product)

One of the best 5w-40 true full synthetic oil you can get is Silkolene Pro S, its what il be using in my next oil change.

I use Millers fully synth 10/60 - recommended replacement for 10/40 - if you like to give your car a hard time !

I used to use chevron 5 w 40 fully synthetic, in my old 2.3LPT , and changed oil every 5,000 miles.

I now have a P2 T5, and use Mobil 1, and change oil every 5,000, but I am sure it will be ok to change every 10,000 – 12,000 miles.
