Default Synthetic or not synthetic

Is it better to switch to synth or not really. Is it also true that synth doesnt last as long as Natural? I just want to clear this all up. Im running 15w 40 natural and i seem to have no probs.

I would go with the Synth.

Secret Services runs 10w30 in their 540whp 240sx.


Why?

Because that's what the bearing tolerances call for.

Don't be the next to spin a bearing by running the wrong oil!
