I ran synthetic in my truck when I had it and I got better gas mileage... But it was a high performance motor. I think using synthetic in a average motor is like running premium gas.. its pointless.

Tick? valve adjustment time or slighty bent valve..

Dont they say if you want to do full synthetic. from regular oil. go synthetic blend then wait a few hundred miles then drain and refill with full synthetic.. ..
