Here is my testiminial to Motor Oil.  Not that I am favoring either as I am 
still confused to which is best for the Roadsters.  But I ran my 1981 Volvo 
240DL / 4cyl motor all the way to 190,000 and it never needed a rebuild.  
Still had good compression and got the same 20 mpg as when new.  Yes the car 
was used very hard too...  It was taken out duck hunting every year in 
extremely dusty or muddy conditions.  Four to five trips to the snow 
annually...  i even used it to tow my Roadster to the track.  <Pictures are 
on my photopoint site>.

So, it isnt that I am not sold on Synthetics.  Since I change the oil and 
filter every 3-4K I figure everything is good.
