I think you have effectively covered all the main reasons why synthetic is "better" than dino. The arguments remaining are "Do I gain any performance benefits?" and "Is it worth the extra cost?"



10) getting back to the whole syth vs. dino debate, chemistry and technology has elevated to the point that there is little difference between oils and their performance these days.

personally, with synth being twice the cost, I'm quite content to continue using dino oil in all 5 cars and changing it out at 3000 miles.

If you dismiss the syn users argument that the extra cost is worth whatever benefits they receive or perceive, than how do justify spending what you do on your oil? By your comparison above, you spend $2.00/qt? There is plenty of 79 cent oil out there.
