Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

I've been using it when I first got my car, inside of the engine is spotless no scraches or discoloring on the cams from daily extended 8.5k reving. I'd say use it its worth the money

O how wrong you are, some synthetic oils are man made some are man made blends and some are dino oil run through an extra refining process. All 3 will say 100 pecent synthetic on the bottle. VERY VERY few are acually man made. ;) I run amsoil it is man made.

i can get 6 quarts of regular oil for 1 quart of synthetic...

so... synthetic = bad, money = good ;)

Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

if your not a lazy ass(as alot of these people here are) and do your own oil changes(like me) go synthetic. i take it a step further and get the Mobil1 filter too. go to there site and read about it. it can filter out the aids virus. seriously. filters down to 10 microns @ 95%.

synthetic is bad for engine break in.

I have always used regular Castrol GTX 10w30. I change my oil a lot though, probably every 1,000 miles, give or take a few depending on how hard I drive my car.

Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

what filter?

Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

AC Delco is what I usually buy, they are like 4 bucks. I would use a Wix or Purolator also, just as long as it's not a Fram/Penzoil.

Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

thats what i used to use. the Pure one purolator.

Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

synthetic doesnt lose its viscosity. regular oil gets thin and watery after repeated use.

Re:Synthetic Oil...Bad?
 

well, yeah...i know that synthetic is a better quality and i always use it on my turbo crx. mobil 1 full synthetic and usually a K&N or Mobil 1 oil filter. I still change my oil like every 2500 miles. i dont even go to 3K before i change it now. i know its more money but i'd rather be safe than sorry. why do people cheap out on oil...thats like the blood of the engine!?!?! does it matter? i mean if you do it like BBKA then thats different cuz at least he changes it like every other week ::) and why do people say its BAD for the motor? i've heard that before on here...
