ditchwitch, I agree, oil does break down. When it does, it turns black and engines starts to burn it. That happens at different hours and miles in different engines. That's when I change it.
As for synthetics, it too will eventually do the same, turn black and engine will start burning it. May last a little longer. Not sure it worth the extra money. I use it in air cooled engines because they tend to run hotter.
In my older tractors, which have rebuilt engines, I use the cheap stuff only because I may only use it 50 hrs a year. Changing oil annually helps flush the condensation out of the engines.
So in some cases it's not how long the oil is good for , but how often you need to flush the engine condensation. geo
