Cooler too right? I've heard 5 - 10 degrees cooler.

Go for it! I made the switch at about 10,000 miles and the engine just
seems to run better (consider that I feel the same way after I wash the
van).

A quick question: I'm thinking of switching from 'real' to 'synthetic'
oil in my 1980 air-cooled. It has about 12000-15000 kms on the engine
since it was re-built. It has been running 'real' oil since the rebuild.
Is this a no-brainer? Is it really just an issue of cost?
����Is
synthetic just better and that's all there is to it?
