Thanks RisfortypeR and bbasso for your reply backs. Will synthetic help with less oil burn? I noticed my R’s Vtec wasn’t kicking in when it normally does and the engine oil light turned on, this was after only about 2,200 miles and about 3-4 months since the last oil change. I checked the oil and it was low, so I added a quart and it ran perfectly fine. I had the dealer do the oil change that week and asked them to check for any leaks and didn’t find any. RisfortypeR I’m leaning more toward going to synthetic, but want to do more research before I make a final decision. bbasso are you saying even with synthetic change every 3,000 miles or 3 months? The reasons I wanted to change over to synthetic was better protection for my car (at start ups since I only drive it once or twice a week), heard possibly less oil burn (since I drive it in the 5-7K rpm after it’s warmed up), longer time periods between oil changes (longer than the 3 months, hopping for 5-6 months, since I won’t reach the 2,500 mile mark in 3 months anymore).
