What oil does everyone use? How do you feel about synthetic oil? I've recently swapped over to it and was wondering how much of a difference maintainence-wise will occur. Thanks for the feedback!

I used Mobil 1 at 115K on this engine and it started leaking past the front main seal. So back to 10W30 or 15W40 oil made by Viscosity. It still has the zinc phosphate that has been virtually taken out of automotive oils as it deposits the zinc and unbinds the phosphorus that can lead to clogged catylitic converters and phosphoric acid.
