synthetics seem overrated to me , sometimes its actually to slippery for some things work normaly as intended , espeacially in gear oil , and the price is rediculous espeacially when out in the mud and water where youll be draining it and replacing way more then an average vehicle

What if I havent used synthetics prior to this...i have been told it isnt a good idea to switch over to a synthetic oil after running conventional up to this point. Mine has 150,000 mi on it...and the reasoning was it might be too good for it, break down stuff and cause leakes...what do ya'll think? plausible?

your right i've heard of that too i just haven't used it myself like the startron. i sure it could be a whole new thread on what kind of fuel additive is best to use...i personally for my fuel in my xj strictly only use shell gas.

you know its funny, I get my Gas from Wawa most of the time, cause its cheapest (Eastern PA if you dont know what a wawa is), but Im pretty sure I get better gas mileage from Sunoco and the best from BP...just my random realizations, not proven either, I just feel that way. As far as Gumout goes...that stuff has been recomended to me a billion and a half times...used it....didnt notice a damn thing. I suppose it did something...i doubt it hurt anything thats for sure.

i use to lucas oil stabilizer as well whenever i remember to buy it at least because i've seen it fix boat engines lol. i am surprised to hear you've had bad experience with shell but i do not doubt it. and to tjheems on your quality gasoline theory, i couldn't agree with you more. i know wawa has the cheapest but i feel like whenever i have that in the tank i burn through it way faster than i burn though shell gas, just an idea but its good enough for me to only buy strictly shell
