from regular oil to synthetic

[ibr_adam09]

i have a 2001 h22 a4 and bout a 600 miles ago i switched to penzoil full synth with about 54,000 miles, i am about to do another oil change , this time to mobil 1 full synth. (i hear its better brand )

i know its kinda early to do an oil change after a few hundred miles, but its been three months and the car has been sitting awhile at my schools shop
( paint project ) so the all the oil has been sittin with w/e debries it brought, thought it would be the perfect time to do a fresh oil change when i drive it again

man i miss my car

Well, that gives him a little more credit in my book... but I don't understand how synthetic oil can clog a VTEC solenoid.

it cant and wont. and by chance it did....it would take 1000 times longer than it would with regular dino.

I use Mobil1 Full Synthetic and have had no problems...in any of my cars. Especially in my Talon...I drive it hard at times and haven't had problems

yes, I have talked to my local mechanic and he also says your motor will be more prone to leaks if you switch to a full synthetic when the engine has over 150k on her. They carry a full synthetic brand AMSOIL that has different varieties including one that you only change the oil every 40,000, INSANITY!!! It's a little more expensive, but you technically would save money in the long run only having to change the oil every 40k.

Don't buy that 40,000 mile bs. Don't even get the 15,000 mile oil. I bet you before that 40,000 or even 15,000 comes around, the oil will be blacker than midnight.

Pennzoil stains your valvetrain a NASTY brown color. I wouldn't use it. I had great luck w/ Mobil 1 and Royal Purple.

I didnt say i had ne problems with mobil1 cause ive used it since 2004 i grive my car just as hard i'm sure. i'm just stating what i saw on the oil test! for what it cost you could get something a lil better.

really? i used pennzoil on my last oil change because everyone at bobistheoilguy uses it and I've seen some gunmetal gray rocker arm pics over there...

i use mobile 1 on 87. don't get started on why i use 87 on a bolt-on f22a1. FTW. camshaft regrind coming soon, it's a start.

anyways. mobile 1 is oem honda synthetic. i use a pure 1 oil filter which is a premium filter. i had leaks to begin with when i bought the car, it made it leak a bit more, but you're seals should be replaced regardless since it'll leak sooner or later. do it now, and less paranoia over your head. OEM SEALS since it's OEM oil. oh, i do my oil changed myself. it's fun and can teach you a lot about how you're car is doing first hand. since i started using mobile 1, the oil is freaking clear still even at 3000 miles, not black like conventional after 3000 miles. mobile 1 is some freaking good shit. exhaust valves are white when i took off my headers, and it means the motor is running efficiently if that's a point. mobile 1 synthetic walmart for a 5 quart jug at a discount.
