Well you see... synthetic and conventional erl is like comparing a high priced escort girl to a brothel girl. They are both hookers but one is way better and more expensive, probably probably less wear and tear too. :tup:

:iagree:

should change subject to

"Funny thing about oil....especially pathetic"

Also remember the cast iron block engines are more forgiving. And synthetic tastes better too!!

Bose in-ear headphones are the best. Had em for over two years now, and had to patch the chord up in a few places cuz it does start to go, but the sound is tits!

Solution to high oil temps is to not use oil!

Brilliant!

Quick ? there oil experts.

If the car's manual says to use 0-20 oil, but I used 5-20 oil instead (unintentionally), is it bad for the car? The car is essentially new with less than 8000 miles.

I do not know. When my cars need an oil change, I sell them and get new ones. Oil changes are scary and confusing.

Having run into this exact same issue with my wife's Acura, I'll bite :rolleyes:

The issue is 0W-20 oil is fully synthetic, while the 5W-20 oil is semi-synthetic. And where it came up was when I tried to get the oil changed at a neighborhood shop and found out the cost difference is $70 vs $40. The owner's manual states that 5W-20 can be used, but you should immediately switch back to the 0W-20 on your next oil change. I confirmed with the dealer unequivocally that their oil change (as advertised with the sale of the vehicle) uses 5W-20 for the ILX model. The guy started backpedaling at record speed when I asked why they don't use 0W-20 per the manual.

Did you buy or lease? If lease, just have them always put the cheap 5W-20. If you own, buy 5 quarts of Mobil 1 0W-20 at Walmart for $25 and DIY or take the oil to your favorite shop. We lease, but I use the fully synthetic because it's cheaper for me to DIY. The two oils cost the same at Walmart, so my oil change winds up being cheaper than a semi-synthetic change at a shop.

+1

Oil changes are the poor man's "solution" to a simple problem.

I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ***, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it.
