I would like to use synthetic oil but folks I talk to say it isn't cost effective. I am more concerned about engine life that oil changes. Is this smart?

I would use it to extend the life of the engine. As I understand it practically eliminates engine wear. Is this true?

If so I would certainly want to use it.

How about synthetic grease for rearends? They say it makes gears turn easier.

Phil,
Yes it does have better anti wear performance, as well as higher temperature protection. Heat is the biggest destroyer of machinery and motorhomes certainly have problems with unwanted heat. If I had fifty vehicles and one of them was an RV and I could only use synthetic oil in one of them, guess which one it would be?

Concerning your question about rearends, some of the manufactures of rearends triple the warranty if synthetics are used.

The only reason not to use a synthetic lubricant is if it can't be used economically for most vehicles, but in an RV insurance is more important than simple oil change economics.

The Amsoil synthetics can be used economically because they are designed for longer service life so you can get your money out of them.

Give me your address and vehicle info and I will send you some pricing and product info. I am offering dealer prices through an Amsoil preferred customer membership and I will pay for your initial membership.
