Well, I know I am making way too big a deal about oil but I have a question. I just recently saw a few UOA results with Royal Purple, and apparently people have had problems with it degrading (thinning) down to near a 20W oil.

So my last oil change I switched to sythetic and used M1. Personally, it is really awkward for me to not be changing the oil every 3000 or so miles. So my question would be, besides the up in cost, would it matter if I run a cheap sythetic (M1, Q, Pennzoil) and just kept changing my oil ever 3000 or so miles? I know I could switch back to dino and run that with regular interval changes, but to my understanding sythentic holds up better. Any advice?
