Synthetic Oil?

What do you all think about running synthetic oil like Mobil One in my 89 Wagon w/ 141k miles. Engine is stock.

Thanks!

    Run it, but change oil less often otherwise you're wasting $$. If you're going to change every 3mo/3K anyway, stay with the cheaper dino oil.

    My $0.02 worth

    I agree. The oil gets dirty so fast even in "good" higher mileage motors that you shouldn't run any more than 4-5k miles per change. If you're going to change every 4500 then you probably won't be able to justify paying double for synthetic when you only gain 50% extended life.

    I don't put a lot of miles on the car - my daily commute is <2miles and so it comes down to time. Been using dino oil and change every 6 months, but now I am thinking that is too long..my mileage is poor (19 +/- mpg).... might continue with the dino oil and change more often.

    Thanks again!
