The old owner of my car thought synthetic oil was best. From my and Steves readings it is found that synthetic dose not transfer heat well. And that is not good for air cooled moters. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I have heard it is not a good thing to switch. How do I change form snake Oil to regular? What weight should I run? I have a 75, 2.0L, 4 cyl AM I STUCK WITH SYNTHETIC???? |

Keep using the synthetic. If you have any leaks, just fix them. The oil return tubes on my 911T were leaking as well as the oil lines. Now that they are all fixed, no more leaks :-) I'm running 15w50 M1 syn in it. Still unsure of what drain interval i'm going to run. Probably filter changes every 3-5k with drain at 9-10k miles. That's a reasonable life expectancy. Royal Purple claims longer drain intervals as well as Redline, Amsoil, etc, and I guess you could assume the same with Mobil's new extended drain interval oils :-)
