If you did'nt figure it out, i was just doing you the same way you do others.

 

I figured thats what you were doing,so thanks i guess

Back to the oil topic,I just may say fuck it and next oil change let the synth. oil drain as much as possible and put regular oil in it.

 

i use synthetic in my car. i put dino oil in the v6 accord, had full synthetic in my s-10, and ran a blend in the civic. only time that anyone can seriously say synthetic is not better than dino oil is during breakin, where the hard core racers swear to break in your motor w/ dino oil.

 

mistacee, try a synthetic blend before going straight to regular oil, i do not know why, but my friend works for an oil change shop and that is their recommended procedure

 

I read an article once that laid out 2 general rules for synthetic:

1. If you have a low miles motor(~50k or less), switching to synthetic should prolong engine life and seals.
2. If you have more than 50k miles, don't bother switching to synthetic, as seals, by this time, have gotten used to dyno oil, and the composition of synthetic oil can allow oil to seep into the combustion chambers.

I think the second rule is just opinion, though. Changing to synthetic for 1 cycle shouldn't hurt your car, then you can see the difference for yourself. Also, if you just had a rebuild less than 2k miles ago, I would DEFINITELY switch to synthetic.

 

Thanks ,i never even thought of doing that! I completely forgot that they make a synthetic blend.
