Synthetic is good for rice rockets and sewing machines.

Not for Land Rovers.

This is opposite of what the Oil Company marketing machines want you to believe.

Of course you should be paying nearly $10 a quart for Synthetic..
Of course.

Any way possible to take max $ from the pubic.
Pay shareholders less or no dividend
Raise rents.
Give no raises.
Lay people off.
Hire offshore talent (if you can call it that).

You can get enough oil at Walmart - Rotella or such for about $20 to $24 depending on where you live.
Not sure I would want a walmart junk filter on the rover like a Fram
or similar made in china garbage.
