I'm a big fan of Pennzoil Platinum. Returns great UOAs, is available almost everywhere, and is frequently on BOGO sales. What interval are you planning on using?

I strongly recommend a filter wrench cap... let's just say I had to punch a hole through the factory oil filter and shove metal through it to get enough leverage to remove it. |

i got my car in December of 2008, i switched to Pennzoil Platinum synthetic at 500 miles. i ran that for 1000 miles and switched to Castrol Edge. i ran that for 3000 miles, and when i changed out for Lubro Moly, i did an oil analysis.
Blackstone labs said that the engine example i provided showed etremely low wear even for a new engine with so few miles. there was high silicon, but that was from a volcanic eruption. you can switch to synthetic at any time. |

Yeah no problem. Just make sure you change it every 6k miles/6 months like using conventional oil or youll void your warranty. (potentially)

I run HDEO Rotella T 10w-30. The engine runs much smoother with it than any syn I had in there(synpower, syntec). The GF4 energy conserving oils are very thin at high temp - high shear rate and can cause piston slap. Also, they are missing the generous % of antiwear agents that the earlier spec oil had. They removed these agents to protect the catalyst through the warranty period, since the agents can plate over the catalyst metals and render them inneffective. The Rotella has the EP antiwear anti-galling agents in good percentage to prtoect the engine. This engine will not use oil through a 5K mile Oci, so, catalyst poisoning is a moot point.

The actual scientific data shows that 0w oils are not necessarily thinner at full operational temperatures. For example 0w-30 and 10w-30 are both the same thickness at 212F. Same for 0w-20, and 5w-20. These 0w oils in fact have a lower shear rate then mineral...Grumpy, ArcoGraphite, and all the other many names you have, why do you keep posting BS here and other forums? |

Nice personal attack, silverworm -You know what they say about people who talk the loudest As usual you disregard my fine points about antiwear agents (SAPS) in SM/GF4 EC oils being reduced. Your absolute BS is about GF4 oils and "shear". Know that GF4 is under 3.0 HTHS on 0w/5w-30 weight; most all 10w-30 CJ-4 HDEO are over 3.5 high temp high shear rate viscosity. Read the FACTS on the product DATA sheets! In your world I should IGNORE the horrendous racket my car makes on syntec and just let it beat itself to death. Great advice!

Silver:
I know about low shear rate viscosity at 212degF - All classified SAE 30 weight must demonstrate a kinematic viscosity in a range between 9.3 and the 12.5 cSt - this is what DEFINES a 30wt motor oil. Duh. |

I have a salvage Saturn 1996 sedan sl2 and has a 172,849 mile on it, is it ok to switch to syntetic oil?

I switched to synthetic oil on my 89 acura legend. Had 200k miles on it at the time. First the oil pan gasket started to leak. I fixed that. 2 weeks later the distributer o ring seal started to leak. Fixed that. 2 weeks later the upper valve cover gaskets started to leak. Fixed that. 2 weeks later the side valve covers started to leak so fixed that. Then about a month went by and then the oil cooler seal started to leak. So fixed that. About few months went by then the rear main seal started to leak. Finally just sold the car. All i know is i was driving about a year with no oil leaks till i switched to synthetic and then the nightmares began.
