Added note, I didn't receive any owners manual for my chassis....

I'm not saying the synthetic oil is bs, but all the hype on what a miracle elixir for your engine it is. It DOES NOT increase fuel mileage, increase horsepower or increase oil change intervals, but it does cost more which is great if that's what you want to use or your vehicle recommends using. It was designed to decrease demand for fossil fuels much like the ethanol fuel was supposed to do & that is a giant load of bs.
