How many KM or Miles do you run the extended oil?

Usually at 5,000 miles, but I've gone up to 7,600 miles before changing it.

Then your wasting your money. A quality synthetic should be able to double that. If your changing so soon stick with dino, it's cheaper.

My Great Wall 1NZ clone won an 800 mile endurance race with Walmart SuperTech Full Synthetic 10W-30. Going to send a sample to Blackstone.

I run SuperTech Full Syn almost exclusively. In fact, today I picked up 2 more jugs of 5W30 at $14.97 on clearance (Walmart Canada). I have 4 jugs of 0W40 for my VW, 4 jugs of 5W30 for my Yaris and 2 jugs of 5W20 for my Kia. I just switched out the 5W20 for 5W30 in my 2zr turbo Yaris and gained about 5 psi at operating temps and around 4000 rpm. I think the 5W20 oil might be losing viscosity due to the heat of the turbo. I am seriously considering running 0W40 in the turbo Yaris. The only thing is that the 0W40 is not a GF-5 Plus oil and, as such, isn't an LSPI spec oil.

Interesting info here, but I'm not certain that it applies to the 1NZ as well. Funny observations about global warming/climate change, but nonetheless an 'official' appearing document.

I'm interested in why and how you can say this. Every oil, dino or synthetic, has a lifespan — does it not? So if you change out dino lube on schedule — ie: before it fails, why should it not be OK? Even dino oil has detergents and agents in it that are the developments of research and chemistry.

And BTW: I for one won't put an all synthetic oil into an older engine that has been running dino all it's life. I've seen the proof of how old gaskets can begin weeping, and I've read why it happens. But that's just me with the evidence on the garage floor. YMMV.

Yeah, to meet the API standards, conventional oils can't gum up unless exposed to extreme heat or severely extended intervals. Most engine applications wouldn't be able to push a conventional oil to its limits under normal or even hard conditions. I run synthetics in my car largely because I can buy them now for virtually the same price as conventional and it's nice insurance if I happen to run the oil in the pan longer than normal. I do like to have a synthetic for my turbo given the potential extreme heat and pressure conditions in the center rotating assembly.

I have not shared the same leaking experience as you when switching from exclusively conventional to synthetic. The only leaks I've had likely would have occurred regardless of what oil was in the sump.

My favorite oil is ace hardware motor or regularly 499 a quart but on sale usually in June and July for $1.99.

If you read those oil analysis it’s got the same thing as any other Motor oil

Yep, word is that if it is API certified and meets your manufacturer's spec, it's more than fine, regardless of brand.

PQIA is a site I like.

I just put Pennzoil Ultra Platinum FS 5w30 in this last time. Got it on Amazon for around $23. I'm thinking seriously though about putting SuperTech FS 5w30 in next time and just sticking with that one long-term. That stuff is around $14 here. Having the oil changed regularly like I do, I imagine these FS oils are all about the same and getting the cheapest one available is the way to go.

I mostly use Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5W-30 because its What is recommended for our Citroen C4 Cactus and it’s not too expensive either.
