Great results from changing oil with Royal Purple Synthetic. It cost more but I understand that it should be good for 10k miles. Took it for a trip this past week and posted 27mpg going around 70mph most of the way. I have a 2004 V6 3.9L and usually get around 24 on hwy. Was very pleased. Any others have same experience?

I get great results with WalMart SuperTech synthetic too. Especially when I'm looking for a change in MPG and keeping my foot out of it.
I don't see how using a synthetic prolongs oil change intervals personally. Cars still have the same amount of blow by and other contaminants using synthetics versus conventional and will gunk up at the same rate. Changing your oil per schedule is the cheapest insurance you can get for your motor.

synthetics are better at absorbing metal particles, and sludge and holding it longer than regular oil. thus letting u have a longer millage.
i still use regular oil and change every 2000 miles, but RP makes a good synthetic oil, as well as many others!

Sprl67, just like you, I also decided to use Royal Purple. This time, I decided to put 5w 20. I admit, it ran way smoother. As for the mileage... I was so pleased that I was flooring it all day and just wasted my fuel. Great stuff!
In my cars I've always changed conventional oil after 2500-3000 and synthetic after 5000. Never had any problems.
I was going to run Royal Purple but it was $9 a quart. Autozone had five quarts of Castrol synthetic and a K&N filter for $30. Seems to work just fine.

I use RP and I like it. Due to my right foot I don't usually see the gas mileage improvement
