Synthetic is better oil no doubt. We have a horizontal ban saw in my shop that we use everyday sometimes all day. It’s 35 years old. A gear in it wore out in 5 years after we got it. We replaced it and put in synthetic gear oil and after 30 years the gear is still good as new.
Do we need synthetic in our trucks probably not. The engine will wear out the rest of the truck. It is definitely better especially on a hot turbo.
