Synthetic oil, when it burns, leaves ash, which basicly will clog your motor up. lol.. its like cigarrettes, it stimulates the motor and gives you 5-10 hp, but after 50k or so, your engine will probably freeze up and die.

Most synthetics (even the crappy ones like Valvoline) have less ash than most conventional motor oils.
Do some research before posting such bogus crap!
This has been covered countless times here and on 50 other boards.
Do not post if you are going to post old wives tales!
