Just pick a synthetic that you like and change it. Synthetic oil isn't a magic potion that's going to transmogrify your engine. It's really high quality motor oil, but it's still just motor oil.


Any of the major brand synthetics should work out well for you.

Yeah I swear by Mobil 1 but I'm absolutely sure any other oil will do just as well.

I'm sure there's a difference between oils, but the difference is absolutely negligible.
