Hmmm...less than $30 for me and I got the good stuff (besides the filter)
man, sythetic oil and NAWZ

you don't want your engine to last over 100k, eh?

Why would synthetic make my engine wear more? 100K is a lot anyways, I'd swap at maybe 75K.

I never said I use NOS, I just like the name. It sounds sooo fast. Oh, I got infinite NOS...i.e. turbo :fawk:

then why do you keep promoting NAWZ like it's God or something :fawk:

As for the oil, I perfer natural oil to synthetic. The last thing I really want to do is throw additives into my engine. Maybe if it came with it, but that'd be a different story.

yeah, swap is good, but money to do said swap is better

cost me about 10 bucks to do my oil, just take it to my dads shop, drive over the oil pit, use the parts needed, and drop my pops 10 bucks lol.

synthetic is better for your engine then "dino juice"

mobil1 is rated for 4,000 miles rather than the typical 2-3k

how would you suggest going from regular to sythetic? Logic would tell me I would need to flush the engine or something

or do I just put the new synthetic oil in?
