66K Is it too late to go full synthetic?

mike444 · 06-25-2014, 01:11 AM

So, not trying to turn this into a synth vs. conventional here..theres plenty of that already.

Let me start off by giving facts about my car and where I live and my driving style:

- I live in south fl, so its hot/humid virtually year round
- Manual 09 Z
- Drive like a granny(not an understatement lol)
- No tracking or racing(if you do thats cool)
-Sport pkg

So, from what I read, looks like I might experience some leaks but only for the first change because its "cleaning" the gunk out.. w.e that means. I just don't want the car to take a step backwards by switching I understand it better for the car but the whole point of the thread was to see if you guys have any input on if its a step forward by changing now at 66k. Anyone dare to give a straight answer?

Also as for the tranny fluid, I have also read and been told "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" I have never changed the tranny oil as mentioned above, I find the shifting normal but maybe I'm just a dummy lol what are some symptoms of our Z's screaming "I need a tranny oil change please!"? Same question refers to the VLSD.

As for brake pads I ordered: "Wearever Platinum Premium Ceramic Pads", if theres any reason I should return it and get something else by all means let me know.
