What's your guys's choice for oil??? synthetic or non-synthetic

 

I am switching to synthetic on my next change, currently have about 18,000km (divide by about 1.6 for miles)

 

I have been using Mobil 1 Synthetic since my first oil change...now at 24,000..I get it right through the dealer. I love synthetic....just preference. Keep in mind though soon as you start using synthetic you need to continue to use it! Switching back and forth can be harmful to your engine.

I havent done my first oil change yet, but when I do I will use Castrol GTX. Regual oil....This car isnt high enough performance to require amsoil, royal purple, Mobil1, 2, 3 or any other really high priced oil. Its a $15k econo box.

With that said you will get a bunch of different opinions. If you really want to look up and read stuff go to bobistheoilguy.com They have more info than you can ever hope for. Good Luck

 

Using Mobil1 synthetic at the moment, bought a couple jugs when it went on sale a little while ago.

 

im searching for a place with it on sale LOL. i am also using mobil1 full synthetic. since first oil change

 

I used to use Mobil 1, but Ben at AJR says that Honda's don't like it, therefore, I switched to Royal Purple.

 

i love royal purple. i noticed a big change over from mobil 1.


its definitely worth the money.

i mean its like 7 bucks a quart. but still you notice a HUGE difference.

 

I love Royal Purps too but I do not want to change my own oil....just don't have the time. But I would recommend Royal Purps overall!
The oil is actually purple...lol.

hahha yeah the first time i used it i had to take a double take on the color of the oil. i first didn't know it was purple and thought the oil was dirty.

 

Do u know how they get that color? I dunno ...

hmm I always use Mobil1 but may have to try the Royal Purp.

 

me neither, but i like it haha. i never thought to ask how it's purple actually. hmm.

 

I am wondering if it is just something they add to the oil...to make it that color....anyone here know the manufacturing process for Royal Purple? lol

They killed Barney and use his fluids... haha j/k

 

hahaha...lol

I used their rad cooling fluid in my jeep, was amazing how well it worked. I think I might just have to try their oil as well.

 

Here is some information I got off of the Royal Purple website...this tech article is pretty interesting...enjoy.

Totally wrong, you can switch back and forth with no problems!

 

What kind of big change did you notice? What kind of big difference? I'd like some specifics before plunking down my hard earned dead prez's.
