I can see that being an issue. Synth in a garage queen may not be cost effective. If you swap out oil every year even if you do not make the miles, I guess dino is just as good. Putting it every other place is a better deal. Not enough wear on the fluid in the trans or diff, so you can keep it there for the life of the part, or you hit the miles. Most people leave standard quality fluids in for far too long, might as well keep good stuff in there instead
