Wonder who uses full synthetic, a syn blend or just straight dino oil.

I'm running Shell Rotella 5W-40 Synthetic in my 95 PSD. That combined with a gear reduction starter has almost eliminated my cold start worries in MN.

Depends, Lars.

Powerstroke:

Winter (Oct-Apr) I run Valvoline 5/40 synthetic.


Summer (Rest of the year) I run Valvoline 15/40 Dinosaur Flesh.


Two cars: 91 Cutlass Calais/92 Subaru Loyale

Year round Napa (Valvoline) 5/30 Dino with top-offs between oil changes of whatever I can find around the shop for the oil-burning Subaru. It goes through a quart every 500 miles or so.


Motorcycle:

Valvoline 10/40 bike stuff....Dinosaur.

I'll vote for Dino oil because I use more of it.

This poll is multiple choice so if you run more than one type throughout your multiple vehicles you can select which choices you want to vote for.
Example: If you have 3 vehicles and run all three types, then pick all three types. Or if your doing winter/summer type switches, then pick both.
Multiple choice poll, pick as many as you like but you only can have one shot at voting on it.
