Synthetic oil. Good or bad?

After 6K miles, I changed the oil and used Royal Purple's 15w40. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination but it seemed like the truck has lost a little power. Anyone uses synthetic oil? Any comments or suggestions would be great.

Its probably your imagination. The pro's &amp; cons (can't think of any cons, come to think of it other than price) of syn oil is well documented here; try a search. <br><br>Take a look at this FAQ page:<br>http://www.cummins.com/na/pages/en/p...2180C4A8F00000<br><br>
