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?

The fact is, synthetic oil is superior to conventional oil. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't have a clue.
The debate comes in where you decide whether or not the benefits it has are worth the extra cost to you and your driving situation.
If you really want to learn about oil - surf on over to the forums at bobistheoilguy.com. There are people there that actually know what they are talking about.
Why don't you share some statistically significant UOA showing that synthetic oil produce better wear metals than conventional oils when used when used intended and following the OLM on the same engine?
It's obvious your included in your "most people on this forum know nothing about oil". :W
Use the correct API rated oil, viscosity and don't exceed the OLM and your good to go.
No...not always.
