you should really switch to castrol 0w30 or 5w40 instead of using that "hydrocracked" synth

"hydrocracked" synth? The Castrol 5w-30 I'm running is non-synth.

Dino oil? That's an evil word around here.

Default Yep ... and for what reason .. it works just as well for normal spirited driving.
It's all a marketing ploy.

They're making millions off of 3K oil changes and saying "to get all you can get out of a motor you MUST use synthetic".

Now you drag race/track folks might need the extra stuff synthetic has to offer.
