Switched to Mobil 1 Super Syn
I've been a die-hard dino juice addict for years now. My last Turbo II lasted 168,000 miles. I change the oil in my FD every 1500 or so. Overkill, maybe, but for $11 and piece of mind it's worth it.
SOOOO after much reading and praise, I made the switch........to synthetic. My first overall impression was nothing different. As I started to drive the car, it did feel smoother. But other than that, it was no different. My oil temps did stay lower though I must say and if they get up after driving hard they come down faster as well. My only complaint is now the car idles rougher a little. Maybe because sythetic uses a type of detergent it loosened some crap. I'm using 10w30 now because it's slowly getting cooler out. We'll see after my next oil change because I'm sure I have a diluted mixture now (dino oil mixed in that did not get drained - oil cooler, lines, ect.) so we'll see.............Hope this helps! |
try using 15-50

really? Any advantages?

better protection for hi temp engines.

How come people say dont use syn??? I was thinking all this time until about 2 weeks ago that syn was the worst thing you can put in a rotary,hehe. Is it really true not to use Castrol???
|
The only reason I've heard NOT to use synthetic oil was that it could clog the cats. Can anyone confirm if that's true? I bought a case of Mobil1, but I've yet to use it.
Thanks, |
what about syn burning differently? could it not leave some kind of residue behind?

For the love of God guys, do a search for OIL. I garuantee, sp?, that you will have enough reading material to last you the rest of your life. This subject is brought up every other day.

Mobil 1
After reading numerous threads, I made the decsion to switch. The first thing I notices was a smoother idle and faster RPMs. So far so good!
