That's more or less it - one oil from the factory makes it nice and easy. You got your hot and cold locales covered. It's available everywhere, and it's cheap.

Only higher-end, "performance" cars would suggest synthetic to their buyers... Who are usually in a higher bracket anyway and know they're gonna pay out the ass...
