Well said Ed. My dealer used 20W50 at my 1st oil change. I nearly
freaked when I read it on the itemized bill. When I questioned him
about it, he said it was "better than the oil Hyundai recommended".
Holy schmoly! I drove straight home and changed to 10w30, which is on
the recommended list, and I think is better for my hot climate than
the water-thin 5W.
I think there's a place for Synthetic. If you intend to drive the car
250K miles, or you live in a brutally cold climate, I think it's worth
the extra bucks.
