before the Baja , I had a 2000 RS. It had all of the bolt ons available. I ran 1 quart of the Lucas synthetic stabilizer and topped off with royal purple every oil change. I also ran redline in the trans and rear diff. I Definately got better mileage , plus the worn first and second synchros got a lot better. When I sold it I cheaped out and put regular oil back in. A week or two later the engine died. Badly. I don't know if it was coincidence , a rough new owner , or what. Switching back isn't SUPPOSED to be an issue. It might just be that 85 k of the 97 on the car was with synthetic in the engine. I run ELF oil in the engine now. 4200 miles and it's still clean and @ the right level on the stick.
