Hello, everyone.

I've been rumaging through the archives, and decided to just ask about synthetic.

My 244 is at 99,912 and I am starting on 100K service items. An oil change and tranny service is on the agenda for next week, and I am really thinking about going to synthetic. Right now, I am losing no oil whatsoever. I like not having to continuously top it off like with my old Jetta.

So, what are the specific benefits of changing over to synthetic?

What are the potential pitfalls of the change?

Any further recommendations?

I'd like to keep on top of this car and drive it for many years. Thanks in advance, BBers.
