I've never heard of synthetic oil described as "severe" before! Why spend
more money for a synthetic blend when you can use full synthetic and have all
the advantages?
Switch to full synthetic oil. It is a great product and I am totally sold on
it. It doesn't matter which brand you use, but make sure it is full
synthetic. The Valvoline web site is pretty neat, BTW. Good products too.
