The cost between VR1 synthetic vs conventional is double. Roughly 60$ vs 30$ per 6 pack of quart bottles. It makes more sense, financially, to use non-synthetic.

I like the advantages of the synthetic plus my engine (knock on wood) does not leak after rebuild. But i am open to an idea to use conventional in 4G63 if there is an advantage.
