You might want to do a search on this. It's like asking what your favorite position is, or which Presidential candidate is a bigger moron. Each person will have a different answer. You commiting the same newbie sin that many of us (including me) have in the past. Good luck.

Definetly want to do a search, because there are many opinions on synthetic or not and brand name as well.

My mechanic, a rotary specialist, put castrol (nonsynthetic) in my car.

Good Luck

Why did you decide to go premix? Do you like it better?

I had an OMP line fail me ONE time. I told myself I'd only get rid of the OMP IF it ever failed me. One of the lines had a crack in it...cost me a motor. Now I run premix so the only thing that can fail is the driver.
