like i stated earlier I want to use full syth ...Its not that I WANT to put conventional, its the dealer actually doesnt have a clue what the hell they are talking about. (even though they are super nice and takes care of me) the dealer keep stating 2012 is switching to conventional! and therefore they would only Honor my free oil change with conventional. I dont want to argue and make a big scene because they are super nice but What am i suppose to do ? just throw away a free oil change because its not full synthetic? I mind as well just use the free oil change and just get it changed out within 2500 miles and go full syth forever after.

I would rather tell that I would pay for the synthetic than to save $30 on a conventional oil change and protect my car from having future problems.
$30 or $$$$$$ more down the road is the point everyone here was telling you.
But in the end it's your car and not mine. I would NEVER put conventional oil in my car, not even if they paid me what it costs to get an oil change.

anyway its a ticket for a free oil change ... u cant "PAY more" to get full syth. its more like 100 dollars at the dealership for full synth.
I got 2 friends ( 1 Guy leasing , 1 guy owning) they just get the conventional oil change at the dealership lol now thats interesting
oh and stop saying using conventional will have future car problems, do u actually have proof that using conventional oil and getting oil changed every 3000miles will lead to engine damage? because my own experience shows that as long as u get proper oil change done its fine!
Also I dont think the dealer would be putting conventional in if its really that bad (dont get me wrong, full syth is awesome)... if conventional is really that bad than the US market wouldnt still have a big market for them... FYI the rest of the world still have very large population running on conventional.... I work in venezuela my family owns 3 cars ... with 270,000KM on the odo and the other one with 260,000km and 190,000km .. the chofer all they use is conventional in Venezuela they dont have import full syth. None of the car has a engine issue because i have been driving these cars from day 1 to 10 years after ... I am just amazed how well the cars are built 2 Fords explorer and 1 Chevy pickup.
-only timing chain on both ford explorer has been replaced (which they had to take a motor apart for the old ford explorer, mechanic said the cylinders and everything looks good)
-Fuel injectors were cleaned.
In taiwan my dad's friend was a motor oil salesman who got laid off, He then went on to create his own conventional oil brand and now he is making a killing the market is still big for conventional

I'm not one to argue, but there is a huge difference between the Ford's you are seeing in Venezuela and a turbo car like the Evolution. (I am Venezuelan). I don't have much knowledge on the subject, but it someone like Robevo RS is saying it could cause problems, I would listen to him.
I pay $50 for full synthetic, for having really nice service people at your dealership, they sure are ripping you off.

got my oil changed on the new 2011 I bought last weekend. I asked the service guy about it and he was surprised I'd heard about it. Said I should keep using full synth and that's what they'd use. paperwork says full synth as well.
