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???? |

I have done a ton of testing with synthetics and seen drastic improvements in oil temps with a couple of oils. I run synthetics in every one of my personal cars and have went as much as 18K on one oil change....
Royal purple and Valvoline took the cake in my testing.. More to come now that I have the datalogger and a second R&D only dyno on the way! |
