Synthetic Oil for Towing?
I have a 2007 Chev 2500HD 6.0L gas with 36K Are there any benifits of using say Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic for the towing season? Or is regular 5w30 just as good?

I run synthetics for peace of mind.
Really cold weather? Synthetic is better in the cold.
Driving 500 miles in the middle of summer? Synthetics handle heat better.
Longer vacation than planned? Synthetics handle longer change intervals better.
As previously said, conventional oils, when changed at the proper intervals, work just fine. Synthetics are just better. I'm willing to pay extra for that.
BTW, I use Royal Purple. Some Walmarts carry it - $8.49 a quart. As hard as I work my truck, I'm willing to pay the extra cost.
