Synthetic in CB7? Need Input

[Chaos325]

My wagon has come to the time were it needs another oil change. My friend at work is always raving about the sythetic oil in his car and how it last longer. I figured I'd asked whos using it here before I switch? I usually rock Castrol GTX 10-30W Anti-Sludge.

I just switched last oil change to Castrol Syntec, and I love it. everything seemed to be smoother, and the power seemed maybe slightly better. Mostly I like the fact that you don't have to change the oil as often, so in reality I'm spending less and getting more. I would do it, and don't forget to use an oil filter that lasts as long as the oil so you don't have to change it either.
Good Luck

i just switched to mobil 1 extended performance fully synthetic 10w30 for the summer then switchin to 5w30 when it starts getting cold. also use an ac delco filter. runs noticeably better since the oil change. used to use non synthetic and mobil filter.

I have never heard anything good about Mobil 1 from my friends and some mechanics, so I didn't try it. I honestly can't see how there can be much difference between different brands, so I don't really care,lol.
That and the Mobil 1 synthetic was more expensive. It all just comes down to whatever one you think looks ok, try it. My friend with a 93 civic swears by Quaker state, while my other swears Castrol. It just so happens that the one who like Castrol is more knowledgeable about cars than me, so i trusted his judgement and tried it out. As long as you get the results you were looking for then you should be fine.

mobil has always worked out great for me. i've tried a lot of other brands on past cars and mobil always ends up being the one i use religiously in the end.

I have used a couple of different brands in cluding mobil 1 and then only one that actually made a difference and was worth it was AMS oil. THe engine was NOTICEABLY smoother after a few thousand miles of break in and power was smoother as well. Engine used to tap constantly and the AMS oil quieted it down to the point that there were times when I thought the car shut off on me at a light. I checked my oil at 10K and it was still clear. AMS recommends an oil change every 25K and a filter change every 12500. By far this is the best synthetic oil I have had yet.

i dont know about synthetic but i change my oil every 2k miles with regular oil and a cheap filter.. after 2k it gets almost black again so i wouldnt run it more than 3k miles on a turbo

I used Mobil 1 on my 96 Maxima before I sold it. I used for for 20xxx miles before I had to take off the valve covers for a job and I couldnt believe how incredibly clean the head was, and that was at about 90xxx miles

not good

I thought I read somewhere in this site that synthetic are not advisable for high mileage cars....

[JDMCB7Tuner]

I Read That Somewhere TOo but i still use synthetic oil (Castrol Syntec 10w30)5.99 a quart and an k&n filter 13.99 damn its expensive but well worth it

It all really comes back to opinion, and we all know about opinions; everyone's got their own. I like the results I got with synthetic oil. My cars got 160,xxx miles on it which is pretty good. Just do what YOU want.

[pangga]

since a lot of you guys have done it already without complaints then I might do that as well...

ive thought about puttin synthetic in my car. i had a JDM f22a1 2years ago and used mobile 1. i think it was the best that i used.

but ive also read that using synthetic on a high milage motor is useless. ill ask a few shops and ill be sure to tell yall. theres no point in spending all that money if ur not gettin any better performance out of it
