And it happens to be incorrect. The use of synthetic oil permits the use of new materials and closer tolerances, both of which lead to higher levels of efficiency - which translates into reduced environmental impact. The longer the car lasts, the longer it is before it is replaced. But yes, lots of people pour out their used motor oil. Yes, they are stupid. Personally I'm on a well, so I'd have to be double or triple stupid. And for the record, I captured my dirty motor oil for recycling. I will be going to synthetic on my next oil change, and I don't feel bad about the decision, either. “The benefits of using a synthetic motor oil in your vehicle is minimal” – this is an unsupported statement.

I will be going to synthetic on my next oil change, and I don’t feel bad about the decision, either.

People actually pour MOTOR OIL out in their own back yard in america? Really? That's... mental. And dumb. Hey, why not burn and salt the ground too, just in case ? Don't you people have oil recycling points? Guh? People actually pour MOTOR OIL out in their own back yard in america? Really? That’s… mental. And dumb.

Don’t you people have oil recycling points?
