I don't, but sure, why not?

I change the oil pretty often and felt that the added cost of synthetic ($25/gal.) compared to conventional ($16/gal.) was not worth it. But now that I type that, it's not really that much more per year, in the grand scheme of things.

Other than cost, there's no real downside to synthetic. You will read all kinds of Internet stories about how bad it is. It's not.
