Posted by dsmlights, Aug-05-02 08:16 AM
hey guys coming close to 100K going to rebuild prob in the next 20K miles.

What oil should i be using now, Turbo and 100K. First change i did semi synthetic 3 of 10-3- and 1 of 20-50. Should i just do all for 10-30???


Also how many oil changes should i wait before i do full syntethic ??

thanks

Mobile 1 synthetic....I drove my car harder than shit. It lasted 99K. Shoot it still runs good just has low compression in one cyl. Does not smoke or start hard ect ect, does not burn any oil either.

the full synthetic oil will prevent the motor from being broke-in properly, thats why you dont use it durring a break-in. once you feel everything in the motor is broken in completely then you can start using it.

I ran regular 10W-30 during break-in, and now I'm running Mobil One 15W-50......
