Full Synthetic or Synthetic blend?

Which is best for the engine and fuel economy?
What is the price difference at the dealer?

Re: Full Synthetic or Synthetic blend?

I'm not sure there is any "best" when it comes to oil varieties. Ask 20 car enthusiasts that question & you will get 20 different answers.

Personally, I like Mobil 1 & have used it for years in all my vehicles & also my Harley (I use 0-20 weight in the Escape)

With all the starting and stopping the ICE does I would run the full synthetic as it flows better at low temps and it has a better additive package.

Thanks Mark. Do you know what a dealer generally charges for a Full Synthetic oil change?

Some use blend some use full, my dealer doesnt even stock the full synthetic. But I change my own along with ALL non warrantee service.
