FinoGal Rookie Author Colorado Springs Posts:10 Points:13,180 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Mar 11, 2011 2:27:12 PM Ignore FinoGal Report Abuse My current vehicle has a blend of natural/synthetic oil. In my prior vehicles I put only synthetic oil in. This cost me less over time because I could drive more mile between oil changes. I have made an effort to read about the latest research regarding oil life in newer vehicles and I have extended my oil changes between 5,000 and 7,000 miles with these new oil formulations. Saves me money!!
