How often should plug wires be changed? Also, what are the advantages of using synthetic oil? Thanks for the help.

i like to change my wires every time i change the plugs but you can pull the wires and wipe them down and inspect them for burns or signs theyve been arcing out.
the advantages of synthetic oil are it doesnt break down under higher temps you can go longer between oil changes and synthetic oil doesnt burn
