The technician tried to upsell me to synthetic oil with a bullshit line

 The crazy part is that cheap synthetic at the auto parts store is as
basically as cheap as anything else. So I use it when I do my oil
changes on my 225,000-mile Saturn.
 They must be getting way better margins on synthetic at the oil
changers.
 

There is that, but it's also _not_ recommended for high-mileage engines that have never used synthetic before. It's too thin and will burn past the worn engine components in short order.
Now that I think about it, I should have let them do it, then waited until the engine died and sued them.
Nah.....not my style.
