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???? |

Id agree with all of that, the only with the syn is that if your car is already leaking with conventional, than syn can make the leaks seem worse, because it is smaller on a molecular scale and thus will find the leaks more easily than conventional. If you are not leaking, syn will dissipate heat better, lubricate better, and last longer-which is why it's more$$$
