mr. Gid, you are the oil man! I am in wilmington, MA area are you near the socialist commonwealth of massachusetts?

All that synthetic is good for, is extended drain intervals.

you're fine , I do the same thing . That's why I use the PLATINUM , SHELL synthetic , and plan to use the QUAKER STATE synthetic due to low costs and their stellar Used Oil Analysises at www.bobistheoilguy.com . Yes to the SM oil which is newer rating that's above the SL rating that's printed on your oil cap ( SL 5w-30 ENERGY SAVING ) . The SYNTEC is a fine oil as well . A neighbor used it in his 2000 HONDA Civic starting at 10,000 miles until 240,000 at 10,000 mile oil change intervals ( mostly highway miles ) , he recently traded it in for a C.R.V. . So take a deep breath and relax .

we too use the TOYOTA ( Denso ) oil filters that can bought from certain TOYO parts departments for $3.50 each when on sale . Last time they gave us crush washers for free ( usually $1 ) with each 90915-YZZF2 oil filter . I think the totol cost for 8 was less than $30 , including tax and washers . Makes for a cheap synthetic oil change . You do it < $20 , dealer > $40 . Plus less stress from the worry of a screwup at the dealer . So , it pays to be a tight .

To me it is more like the other way around.

Pennzoil Platinum, Shell and Quaker State synthetic are all from the same “barrel”. The price different is because of marketing.
