yea IMO i won't go back to the thinner oil anymore. And i read some research study about how min-oil is just as clean as syn-oil. It wasn't always like that but i guess it's gotten better. Idk if that is true or not but that's just what i heard. I change my oil every 2k on the teg with min-oil and it looks very clean every time.Synthetic is just a cleaner oil. It doesn't create build-up and whatnot. I'm not much of a fan of the thin oil either. I run 10w-40.
