Further another specialist says don't waste your money on synthetics unless you need them for very cold (-40 F) starting/. I run synthethics in winter for that reason & "dino"oils in summer changing twice per year. I am at 240,000 km & burn a little on start up but never add . this is 97 LE 4 cylinder
Some people treat their cars better than their wifes!
