sprkn_ranger Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 pennzoil with a fram filter... cost 20 bucks... i wounldnt use synthetic yets its just a waste of money cuz you really dont need it... yet... I disagree. Synthetic oil doesn't break down nearly as fast as conventional oil therefor you can go 10,000-12,000 miles between changes compared to 3,000-5,000 with conventional oil. Just make sure you have an extended life filter cause most cheaper filters only filter efficiently up too about 5,000 miles. After that they bypass most of the oil.

sprkn_ranger Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yea if your car burns oil then it's better to just run conventional. Lol no point in runnin expensive oil just to burn it all away after a couple thousand miles! But the op said his car has 41,000 miles on it so it shouldn't be burning oil yet.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've been running Amsoil (oil and filter) for a while now. Like many have said, it's like $20-$25 for an oil change. Before I made the switch to synthetic I was running Valvoline MaxLife (vehicles have 150K+ and 130K+) with Purolator Pure One oil filters. Was costing me about $10-$15 a change.

The key is to just make sure you change regularly. If you going synthetic with an extended life filter figure on changing your oil about every 8-12 thousand miles. If you do synthetic with a REGULAR filter plan on changing your oil every 3-5 thousand miles. If you use conventional oil, change it every 3-5 thousand miles regardless of what filter you use. You'll be fine as long as you change your oil when your supposed to. But if you do use synthetic, don't go back to conventional.

cal Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 i want to be clear its not the brand of oil you use or if its synthetic its the amount of time/ miles you change it in as long as you use an API APPROVED OIL. if your car manufacture recomends synt then use it im not saying that royal is better or not that ams these are all great products and im not offending or even doubting them but do you really need it ive been working in a shop that does oil changes from taxi cabs to mercedes and ive never heard of any problems by using brands such as peak,nappa,quakerstate,amoco/bp,proline,shell exc.basicly its an api and a quality filter no need for doubble duty filter my theory is if your car is tuned for 93 oct fuel will 100 oct be better no unless you have a drag car that can use the higher octane its like pissing in the ocean. dont ge me wrong oil is like anything else personal preference if you like royal great use it but like you see in this thread so many different responses beacuse every body has a favorite its hard to ask which one is better and your not going to get every body to agree on one brand oil and filter combo. its like asking blond or brunette?
