Still Me Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 i mean is it really that much different than the half synthetic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename: Jackass Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It's formulated for modern engines with tighter mechanical tolerances. It also doesn't break down as fast and retains its viscosity over a higher mileage. Its molecules are more uniform so sludge doesn't build up as fast, and it clings to mechanical parts better so that they're protected from friction and corrosion. The main benefit is that it protects from wear for longer. I wouldn't feel safe using synthetic blend beyond six or seven thousand miles. Most full synthetics can go further. You also need a filter designed to last that long though. A dirty filter does no good for your oil. I use synthetic in my car mostly because it lasts longer and I don't have to change my oil every six weeks with how much I drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenigundam Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yes because half synthetic is dialed down. It's the skim milk of oil, so if you want your car to really go fast and never have engine problems, you have to pick fully synthetic because its the real deal, the full gallon of whole milk.

Requires an oil change every 3,000 miles on regular oil... and those engines FUCK UP oil but take abuse x4000to die. Mine... I beat the shit out of my Grand Cherokee daily... BUT I ran Royal Purple every 10,000 miles and no issues, drops in oil pressure, or changes in peformance. in your case, get synthetic blend every 5,000 miles.

Phillies Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 no cause your car junk, however thicker oil might be better for older engines, so if girth is the issue go with moar... otherwise standard is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
