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.... |

Umm.. It might be too late for you to change to synthetic if you have pretty high miles.. I would stay away from it, since it's lot thinner, and you might develop a leak. Tune up sounds good though.. But make sure to check for leaks often if you do change to synthetic oil from convertional.
 Edit(add): oh yeah.. I like Mobil1 Fullsyn. It seems to have the highest endurance and stuff.. speaking of non-racing oils and such. But I have also heard that Amsoil is good.. Even though I haven't tried yet, and I won't until I have enough money to change to that. I hope that helps. This post has been edited by Newbie: Nov 23, 2004 - 1:56 AM |
