Lets talk motor oil.
I have always been a conventional oil person. Not brand loyal. What ever is the cheapest I buy. Do not believe in 3000 mile oil changes but do try to stick by manufactures recommendations that usually means 5000 to 7500 mile oil changes. Have never had a oil related breakdown.
But I am thinking about using a synthetic oil in my new truck. Not to extend the oil change length; but rather because these new engines are built to tighter tolerances and newer technology like MDS.
The manufacture recommends brand specific conventional oil. But I read that as synthetic is not mandatory and these are the brands we are partnered with. I will still use the onboard oil change monitor to tell when to change the oil.
Mobil recommends; Mobil Super Synthetic, SAE 5W-20 for my truck.
1) So talk me into or out of using synthetic oil.
2) What is the difference in Mobil Super Synthetic, SAE 5W-20 and Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-20 other than a difference in price of $2 a quart. Both seem to be a synthetic oil.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
