I will be switching. One thing to remember that when you read Synthetic oil on the container that doesn't confirm it is 100% synthetic. Look for the words fill synthetic or 100% synthetic

what are the benefits of a full synthetic vs a synthetic blend or regular oil?.....are the benefits worth the extra cost?

ive been using full synthetic since the very beginning so i would say its totally worth it because I believe it might give your engine a longer life and maintain it much better so I would rather sacrifice a couple more dollars to get that security

How often do you change full synthetic Motor Oil?Do you wait to change the filter at that time or change the filter before then and just re-use the Synthetic Motor Oil?

My understanding is that Oil filters need to be changed at the very least 5000 miles.

Haven't switched yet, just picked up the car saturday. Am looking at 0w30 amsoil. The 3.5 seems to respond well to this oil. Metal tests have looked very good. Hopefully the 3.7 will respond the same.
