    yup... the way that it will hurt is if say... you ran synthetic since your motor has been at 10k and you roll it over to 100k and for some reason put dino oil in there.... more than likely your gaskets wont hold up after that its only at high mileage and long use that i've seen changing back from synthetic tear through gaskets
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
