      Actually

      The truth about synthetics is thatthe molecule is engineered to a specific purpose, its still made from petroleum products, its just design from the ground up instead of a distilation byproduct then fortified with aditives.
      Synithetics are not super technology products just engineered lubricants.
      A big bonus from synthetics is the fact that they resist thermal breakdown, have better cold flow characteristics and the base being a much better product overall doesnt seem to breakdown as easily as "dino" oil. And they usually take a lot less(number and amounts) additives(ie the ash and zinc) that other require to do a specific job.
      As for dual filters, those are a real pain to package, it adds double the plumbing and complexity and wont save you unless your gonna go run the Baha 1000, its overkill.
      Again, use a good brand, a proper brand(but not Fram, super junk restrictive filters) filter Wix,Purolator,K&N, are good and carried by several companies. Run enough oil to allow the oil to spend some time in the pan or sump to reject heat (an oil cooler would be a better choice and single filter) adequately.
      Again oil analasis and maybe an hour meter, and just watch the guage a little. I can tell when my oil starts breaking down or gets low(remember a well sealed engine will use a certain amount of oil).
      I try to run 3000-4000 mi oil changes. but have run it to 4000-4500 and oil still looks good.
      But if you still want to try to do this good luck.
