[QUOTE="Ferendon, post: 3689687, member: 578259"] Again, this is the worst place to get car advice, thanks to know-it-alls like SuperchargedRS. He's the prime example of a god **** moron. He probably drives an 80s Camaro, or a Civic. There is no true answer to your question. It's a matter of needs, wants, and budget. It's also a matter of service designation. Call an auto parts store, or dealership, and find out what the service designation of the recommended oil for your car is. Then go to an auto parts store, and get that kind of oil. Do your own research though. Stay away from websites that sell oil, or related product, and also oil manufacturers. They're all biased towards synthetics, based upon the fact that it's much cheaper to make, and it costs a bit more, hence, makes them more money. Try bobistheoilguy and check out the forums. Lots of killer info in there. And please, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying synthetics are inferior. I run conventional Castrol GTX 10w30 in my car, and Castrol Syntec in my wife's car. I'm not partial to either one, I just think that it's not a clear cut case. Just like DSL vs Cable, or Turbo vs Sueprcharger. It's all a matter of purpose, needs, and budget. [/QUOTE]
