Oil Grade

RE: Oil Grade
so, where im from this is a well debated issue... Here are some of the different opinions
Syn - pro "better because high mileage vehicles need the extra protection for stickier parts such as lifters."
con - "high mileage engines have tolerances that are much less than they used to be, and a synthetic will slip past the seals easier." This one i know. less than a day after i switched to syn my valve cover gasket started leaking.
conventional pro- thicker to stick to parts better. Doesnt leak as bad.
con - its conventional oil... syn performs better.
So since no verdict was even come to.
But i use syn only because i have a hard time gettin in at 3K im usually in @ 4k... syn breaks down slower that conven.
