let's learn how to spell advice, it's not advise which is the verb form
Why do you say I'm gving bad advise ? Apart from what you've read, or heard, how do you actually know synthetic is better ? And you've used it in 2 rides, congrats, both happen to be Explorers.
You're the first person I've ever seen that chalks up numerous engine failures to using synthetic and you're saying "you HEARD it causes failures". I just don't buy it. :thumbdwn:
And fair enough if you don't buy it, you don't have to, I was simply stating what my opinion on the issue is. That's the whole point of a forum, many people documenting their own personal experience. My experience has been bad, many people's has been good. There's always 2 sides to the coin, my apologies if you have a problem with that.
We agree to disagree. Looks like I'm not the only one that disagrees with your assessment so let's leave it there.
Dude, assessment ? I stated the facts of what has happened in my personal experience. It's not an assessment. You seem to the be the only one trying to start an argument with me, so how about let's leave it at that ?
guys,
respectfully, your debate/conversation is getting needlessly close to the edge. call it a day, or email eachother privately.
this is a great forum for sharing and even debating opinions, but i think this horse is already dead.
please take this in the spirit in which it was intended.

Ok, let's see here. I am chalking up engine failures to synthetic switching, yes. Well, when you own a vehicle for x amount of months (or years), and it runs perfectly fine, doesn't burn, leak or consume a drop of oil, then you switch to synthetic and shortly after have a complete failure out of the blue, you begin to wonder. And when it happens more than once, even more than twice, then you wonder even more. And when the technicians at the Ford dealership recommend dino-oil because they've seen issues with people using synthetic, you'd wonder even more.
lol, true enough, I don't mind you having a different opinion, I just want to make it clear that it's just that, my own opinion, and it's not some made up junk, there's been a couple things that have lead me to my opinion.
That said, how does you 5.0 like starting in the winter with synthetic ? Per say, if it's not plugged in.
Fair enough, I don't mind being on the island by myself And again, I'm not saying that synthetic is a bad product, I'm saying in the application of vehicles, particularly used vehicles, I've experienced nothing but bad things.
