I'll suggest that my 2.1 L engine pushing my (loaded for camping) 5,000 lbs syncro westy at 70 mph is EXTREEM CONDITIONS & STRESS. That's why I use Mobile 1. Here are the AAA quotes: "If your vehicle is subject to extreme conditions, such as sustained high speeds or high loads, extremely dusty conditions, racing, towing, use of a turbocharger, etc., the use of a conventional oil may not adequately protect your engine." "If you are putting a lot of stress on your oil, however, you might consider a change to synthetic oil and staying with a short change interval." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
