I haven't looked too much into yet but was wondering which synthetic oil you prefer. Any good or bad comments on them?
I just wondered since it's getting close to time for my oil change and I got some pretty high miles. I thought about a tune-up and synthetic oil. Oh yeah, whats good for the trans? I got my ideas. Now I want to hear yours. --------------------  CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

I know I don't have very many boxes, which means I haven't had many posts, which means poeple don't take me serious very often. But please, everyone out there who swiches to synthetic oil after using regular, your first change should be within a 1000, closer to 500. And the next should be under 2000, closer to 1000. Synthetic is thinner, as most people know, but it will break lose stuff that the original oil left in there. These things that were gummed up in the corners of the engine will break lose and could find there way to something important. So if your going to swich, and I recomend swiching, do this. I use Castrol full synthetic with K&N filter. Works great, you'd be hard pressed convincing me to change.
