I have had no problems whatsoever with the semi synthetic Mobil S oil changing from 20/50 mineral oil, there was am immediate cold starting advantage, it also ran smoother and the HOT oil remained it's viscosity very well even when at extreme temps, never mind staying cleaner for much longer.
I want to change over to Mobil 1 15/50 full synthetic oil, due to the good rap I got from the S oil, (also go full synthetic in auto and diff) should I flush the engine and other parts or will the full synthetic oil swap over with no dramas from the semi synth oil with a basic litre allowed to run through it and then do an oil / filter change.
I would give the Mobil "S" oil a 10 / 10 for anyone with a ecotec with <200 K on it but the engine has now 240K on it, it is working fine mainly due to the use of the semi synth oil but I would like to try the full synthetic oil to see how it goes, especially with the temp outside being over 40 deg C every day.
Oils are not just oils, especially where the eco has roller tappets as std, to put generic oil into one would destroy the thing, at least losing 150 K from it's engines life.
