i have a 2000 v6 with 79k miles. i was wondering what type of oil i should use. i heard straight synthetic could be bad for it because of the miles but a lot of people have been recommending synthetic blend. i need help

I wouldn't use syn with 80k on the engine. Synthetic is so strong that it will eat up all the oil films in the engine, thus the car becoming an oil burner.

You could use synthetic blend and then sythetic on the next one, u'll be fine!
