- 4 qt of castrol 10w 30 dino oil is $30 US
- 4 qt castrol 10w 30 full syntec $53 US

Since i'll be doing 2 dino oil changes in the same amount of time (10,000km) i'll have to buy 8 qts dino oil totaling $60 US as compared to $53 US for the full syntec during the same period (10,000) also i will have to purchase and extra oil filter ($20US) and my time to change it.

so the syntec can out for me

I used castrol syntec every 10000 km with a new filter in my 05 for my changes. It had 377,400 km when I sold it and no problems.

Do it yourself, recycle the old oil and save money.
