I run synthetics in my air cooled engines, and dinosaur oil in my water 
cooled engines. The reasoning behind this, is that I always get adds from my 
"specials" in the mail from my local Chrysler dealer for free oil changes 
with filter for the the water cooled vehicles. I thought "free" was good 
until this weekend while trying to find a vibration in my Dakota pickup, I 
found that they had not been greasing the universal joints in the 4wd drive 
shafts when they did the service. Now I need to replace them.
