I'm not going to argue the ignorance of your insistence that dino oil is as good as synthetic oils. Spend 5 minutes doing a google search and come back with *any* information that states that synthetic oils are not superior in *every* category besides price.
Additionally, if *you* want to put cheap crap oil from an unknown source in a multi-thousand dollar car, knock yourself out. I pray I never end up buying a car that you've owned.
Also, there are three purposes for automotive oil - to lubricate, cool and finally keep clean, the interior moving parts of an engine. If the oil has lost the ability to do that, it needs to be changed. Dino oils are not designed to last 10k in an engine...period. Have you ever even heard of oil sludge? It's a BIG BIG BIG problem and it will total* your engine. Synthetic oil will NOT create oil sludge in your engine.
Dino oil will in FAR less than 10k. Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean the laws of lubrication doesn't apply to the rest of the planet.
