#171014 Ok all i got to say is synthetic, synthetic, synthetic its in my motor and my trans and had no problem. I have a import tuner mag and they did a dyno run with different oils and with synthetic they gained 2 whp because of the oil. With synthetic there is less friction so its the best for a better and longer running motor :thumb:

#171016 well i wouldnt say it will make it runn longer. shit 300+ thousand miles on my ol lil d motor with standard oil. and i could put it back in my car and get another 100+k miles on it with standard. and 2 whp? was it the same car or just another car just like it side by side? that could be just a fart in the system. i can add an octain booster and gain more hp with standard oil and ill be leaving the store with more money in my pocket.

#178294 i use regualr old oil. synthetic oil causes leaks i have seen it many times lol. also i was reading some article somewhere that said synthetic was to thin or some crap for vtec engines to build correct oil pressure? idk if it true or not but i definatly run regular oil. plus i change my oil every 3k any how to synthetic dont make a difference to me.

all i can say is conventional, conventional, conventional! :thumb:
