Thumbs up Semi-Synthetic

I hit 4,000 miles last week, so it was time for an oil change this weekend. Went with the Bel-Ray Semi-Synthetic. Noticeable power increase (not tons, just noticeable). Clutch feels really good, too. Overall I'm pleased.

I'm still considering a full synthetic, but I'm concerned about the clutch action. I've heard too many bad stories.
