Ok, I have a question then, does the synthetic 15-50 flow better than standard 15-50?

i believe synthetic doesnt burn as easily.. therefore it last longer .. right?

Full Synthetic that is of course

Full Synthetic oil is much better for high temperatures, is even perfect under 150°C while regular oil starts burning / gets too thin and looses a lot of it's functionality

Synthetic may handle the high temperatures a lot better but keep in mind that it has a knack for finding it's way out of your engine more so than regular oil. So check your levels contantly.

when I got my car they had put 10w30 in it, and it was like water and it would burn right up, i tried 20w50 but still got thin under heat, now I use Vavoline racing straight 60w oil. stuff is as thick as molasas, and yes it take a tad longer to warm up, but its make the engine purr ever so smooth when at regular operating temp.
also it burns no longer.
