Hey guy's, i'm currently doing a few things here and there on my car, and soon on the list is another oil change. Now i can't remember what oil used last time, but when i bought it, i was told not to use Synthetic , and to use a thicker oil, due to the age of the motor, and that too thin of an oil could leak from somewhere ( can't really remember all of what i was told)
Anyways, i've been doing some reading, and all i can gather, is that a thinner, synthetic oil, will increase fuel economy, help the engine to run cooler, and reduce power friction loss. But it say's nothing about not being suitable for an older motor. Can someone shed a little more light on this for me, as i'd like to use a good quality Synthetic oil this time around,( if possible ), and any reccomendations would be great too. :thumbsup:
Motor is a V6, with 190,000
