#121620, "RE: What type of oil do you use/recommend?" In response to In response to 8
I would like to disagree with that. Synthetic oil acts totally different in almost every way. If you are going for easy driving they say u can go 5-7,000 miles on synthetic vs. the 3,000 for regular oil. It also doesn't break down as fast at higher temps. There was a posting on this a while back, and a really well written article that discussed all this. After reading that article i started using synthetic on my rebuild. Anyone know what article I’m talking about, and where it is?
