Per the years of excel spreadsheet that maxima.org did on the VQ it showed the results that weren't all that great.

here's a stupid question... how much oil do i need the *first* time i switch to synthetic? - don't i need to flush the engine with it? how about *second* and so on times? - how much oil do i need per oil change? i haven't changed my own oil in years, and don't remember...
