Don’t switch to synthetic. My 2005 Accord had 199,998 when I bought it. It had been very well maintained and was quiet. I changed the oil and used synthetic, and within 1000 miles it was ticking...

The oil marketing machine is alive and well! I see most of the experts have shown up. Follow your owners manual and you should be fine. I use dino oil, have had cars with 300k with no problems.

Ran many cars with the cheapest oil out there and they went well over 200K before I sold them. Still running just fine. no oil use.
It's all about timely changes and using the right filter.

You both sound silly the difference isn't $5-10 and we are done, it's more like $50 every oil change so at 200,000 it starts to make a difference. http://jiffylubeoilchangeprice.org/

Wouldn't bother changing anything to be honest. Synthetic is primarily beneficial for longer oil change intervals.

My experience is synthetic is thinner and cleans better opening up possibilities in older engines for oil leaks with older gaskets.. Ain't broke, don't fix it.

Finale word: Changing oil in your car (according to manufactures recommendations, NOT every 3K miles) is probably the number one maintenance you can do to keep a car running good for many many years.

I bought the cheap oil from Walmart last year "Super Tech", they ran out so they gave me Mobil 1 Synthetic for a substitute at the same price ;)
I like Shell oil, Shell also makes Rotella.
