Just purchased a new car a couple of weeks ago and would like to use 
synthetic oil instead of conventional oil. Does anyone know the goods 
and bads of using synthetics compaired to using a conventional oil.
The car is a 2006 Dodge Magnum SE. 2.7 liter V-6 with a 4 speed auto.
Thanks in advance...

Run a 'Diesel' rated Synthetic like
Mobil '1' 'Delvac'.

Google Diesel engine oils - plenty of
coverage as to why - .

Long and short of it is:

The EPA wanted the Oil companies to lose
their 'wear protection' package - Moly
and some other things that prevent metal
to metal contact - because - if your engine
was burning oil - it would decrease the
effectivness of the Catalytic Convertor.

The Truckers threatened a shut down strike
since their operating costs and down times
from Engine damage / failures would be huge.

So - the only Oils that still contain an
Anti-Wear package are the Diesel Rated oils.

I've 4 quarts of Delvac sitting next to me
at the moment - going into my '89 Cherokee.

The TOYOTA truck and car guys run Diesel oil
and rave on it - engine is quieter etc.

BMW buys 'Delvac' from Mobil and repackages
it as 'BMW OIL' - runs in all their vehicles
from the Factory.
