I don't have anything against synthetic oil per se, but unless you have
a relatively fresh engine, you won't either want to or be able to afford
going synthetic in the coach engine. It will either leak or burn just
as fast, if not quicker, as regular oil will. Here again you'll see all
manor of protestations and testimonials. Reminds me of people who use
premium gasoline vs. unleaded, when the engine does not ping with
unleaded. It's been proven time and again that it is a waste of money
in spite of, again, all the testimonials (runs cooler, get better
mileage, etc., etc.) to the contrary.
