Ram ji, there are millions of cars around that have been forever running Mineral oils, for lakhs of kms, and very well so too. However the advantages of Synthetic oils have been defined well for quite some time now. It boils down to a matter of cost. If you can afford to pamper your engine a little bit, why not? If you can't, toh bhi theek hain, a lot of people don't and I think engines have enough tolerances to guzzle other than gold too.

Also, I think most of us who are under the "three decade driving experience" limit, whether on the forum or around the world would not appreciate being referred to as "kid gurus." While we all appreciate the obvious benefits of experience, there is much to learn from younger ones also. Not preaching and all, but, unless you can disqualify anybody's claims with adequate justification, I don't see anything wrong with taking to anything written by under 30 year olds.
