In regards to oil. 5-30 conventional in no thicker or thinner then
5-30 synthetic and the reverse is true for synthetic. Use what is recomended for your set up. Using too thick of an oil will sacrifice power, and gas mileage. This will also make your engine work harder on start up in cold weather and cause more engine wear.
So in short all I am saying is 5-30 synthetic or otherwise is the same as going 1 minute= 60 seconds. I hope that helps clear up any confusion.

Try running a search for synthetic oil and oil pumps or something along those lines. You'll find a loooong thread including several posts from Chris (Kontradictions) with some informative and a lot of unconfirmed, untrue and speculative info. Basically though, yeah, 10w is 10w.
