[quote=madmaxx;1085203]The advantage to synthetic is cold starts, where all the wear takes place.
This is just a thought, but when I start my car when it has been sitting or is cold.
Firstly I know the engine won't start if I don't pump the gas pedal a couple times.
So I intentional do not pump the gas at first. I turn the starter until I see a little oil pressure on the guage, Then pump the gas and start the engine.
Or, if you have an electric fuel pump, don't turn it on at first. Turn the starter until you see some pressure then turn on the fuel pump.
How does that sound?
