I have debated that with myself and still have not come to any 
conclusion.Last spring while climbing up Cajon Pass a line to the oil 
cooler blew.  I did not have enough oil with me so drove to a nearby 
Target.  All they had was Castrol dino juice.  I topped off with that and 
ran the rest of the trip.  I recently changed oil and went back to Castrol 
synthetic.  I am going to see if there is any difference in oil 
consumption.  Also the front seal is weeping a very little bit and I will 
keep an eye on it to see if it changes.
