synthetic doesnt break down as quick, therefore lasts longer, synthetic is cleaner also, more expensive yes but nicer, as far as going back, i guess u can

allrighty i got this question!!

conventional oils are not always as true, saying that not all dead dinosaures are the same, there is different textures depending on how deep u go into the earth.

synthetics are made for special aplications and are the same grade and quality throughtout there process, synthetic oils can also take a much higher tempertaure, resulting in a much lower scar avergae
