I work on a lot of engine parts, and see the insides of covers, pans, etc, and can tell you that running cheap conventional oil will lead to deposits. Burned deposits in the hot areas and sludge deposits in the cold areas.

I run synthetic oil in everything, and change it at reasonable intervals. My engines look just like Danno's inside.

I just don't get the thinking behind owning a, sometimes expensive, vehicle and using the cheapest oil you can get for as long as you can. Especially with a cycle engine. The overall quantity of oil is lower and the stress on the oil is higher.

If you don't want to go full-on cycle synthetic, just use Rotella T6 and you're good.

I rolled the Rotella T6 in my 250 until it blew its top at 33k. But that was no fault of the oil. Gonna make sure the cooling fan is running for this engine...
