I have heard from different people mixed emotions on this. I have been thinking of swapping to Mobil 1 synthetic on my 4runner(95xxxmiles) and my wifes tacoma(145xxx miles). So what's the story should I or not. I have some people that tells me to do it and then others say that if it's never had synthetic don't put it in. What are pros and cons, how could it possibly hurt the engine? By the way I have been using Valvoline Maxlife 5w-30.
