>>>I just had a mechanic swear up and down that synth
oil should go 7000.


I'm sure he doesn't own a vanagon.  The life of oil is
determined in part by how clean your engine is.  Newer
engines burn cleaner and therefore leave less carbon
deposits on the cylinder and in the oil.  Your
vanagon,  particularly if it has 100-200k miles, is
far less efficient.


I'm sure that a 99 escort or whatever can go 7k on
synthetic.  Afterall they can go 7k on dino oil
between  oil changes.
