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???? |

Ill chime in, My recent experiance is with a fairly low mile rebuild of the 2.0 in my Yeller 73. Has had Dino run in it since ..rebirth.
In prep for the Run down to WCC I decided to switch to Syn. I used Castrol's 10-40 version. No leaks 3K odd miles later after driving from North of Seattle to Socal, punting the car around the streets of Willow, then back to Seattle Temps never got excessive (as measured by the Ultra-accurate OE console guage (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ) evan though we averaged 85-90mph all the way back! Im stayin with Syn (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |
