Default Full Synthetic or Synthetic blend?

Which is best for the engine and fuel economy?
What is the price difference at the dealer?

I'm not sure there is any "best" when it comes to oil varieties. Ask 20 car enthusiasts that question & you will get 20 different answers.

Personally, I like Mobil 1 & have used it for years in all my vehicles & also my Harley (I use 0-20 weight in the Escape)

With all the starting and stopping the ICE does I would run the full synthetic as it flows better at low temps and it has a better additive package.

Thanks Mark. Do you know what a dealer generally charges for a Full Synthetic oil change?
