YES. I change all these oils/fluids in all my cars, trucks, Bobcat end loader, and Kubota diesel tractor more often then is suggested by the manufactures. Engine 2500 miles, trans, diff, power steering, and brake fluid every 25,000 miles in everything but the GMC. It pays off. I have a 98 Chevy Astro that just turned 324,000 miles. There has been ZERO repairs to any of the drivetrain. Never used any synthetic's of any kind. Never need to add engine oil between changes. This is the results of changing oil. It just come down to getting the carbon out that the engine oil filter can't. And synthetics can't do anything about that carbon. As to the GMC. It gets the trans, and final drive changed at 12,000 miles. Remember. You only drain about half the trans fluid at each change. And the FD has no filter. But I did put a magnetic drain plug in. Oils/fluids are CHEEP. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale Mouse House

The filter will catch particulets and not the acid.
I have been told, the acid does not build up in Syn. oil.

Jim,
The real thing is that the acids that are combustion by-products do not attack the synthetic oil's capability to lubricate the way it can a regular dino oil. Given time they can still accumulate and cause trouble.
