I have nearly 30K miles on my truck running Delvac 1300. I am wondering if it makes sense to switch to synthetic at this point? I have only 1200 miles on the current oil and boy does it seem black, worse than ever, not sure if I am just imagining it or what. I recently added a power box (Quad 135) and am wondering if that's a lot harder on the oil maybe?
I am planning on using Mobil Delvac One Synthetic 5W-40. The question is: Are the synthetics *really* any better than the dino's assuming both are changed at 3000-5000 miles? The Delvac 1300 I am running seems to be very good oil from what all I have read and am wondering just how much better the synthetic will be? I can buy a gal of 1300 for $6.00 and the synthetic is $24. Is it really worth the 4x price? Am I too late to change over?
Thanks,
Tim
