ford2go - Actually, you are wrong. Mineral Oil does wear out and is specifically the reason it needs changing. It wears out due to the heat of the engine and the chemical effect of the blow-by gasses from the combustion chamber to the crankcase. Synthetic oil is made from gas products and is far more pure than regular mineral oil. Synthetic oil was specifically designed for use in aircraft turbines which has to withstand very high temperatures and high speed friction without breaking down... something regular mineral oil had repeatedly failed to do. The main reason to change the oil when using synthetics is because it gets dirty, the detergents in the oil are no longer effective, and oil filter by-pass valve trips on. Next time you have "information" on something, please be sure to make sure oyu know what you're talking about. The mere fact you mentioned you haven't "seen" any evidence on the differences of these two kinds of oils says you don't haven't read up on the subject. Check out Wikipedia or even google "synthetic oil" and you'll get the information you're missing.

That's right! We shouldn't ever do anything cool or new because drug smugglers might use it! The drug war is a crock. Legalize, tax, and regulate. People will abuse it anyway. Look at prescription meds. Some geniuses even huff paint. You'll never stop people from doing what they want or trying to get intoxicated. You'd think the repeal of prohibition would have been a clue. Anyhow, I better stop. Some DEA agents have families to feed and doors to kick down in a paramilitary raid. All in the name of keeping you from harming yourself!
