Switching to Synthetic - What should i get?

PowerShiftz02GT · July 30th, 2008, 07:02 PM

Is it okay to switch back to conventional after running synthetic for a while?

I'm not sure but I heard you could you just hafta go down to the syn blend for a little then go back to the oil or get it flushed and got to it. Not too sure bout that though cuz I heard synthetic leaves a residual in the cylinders so not too sure how that would work.

Yes you can. You can even mix synthetic and conventional if you want.

And If i were to switch what should i use ? 10W30 or since its thinner 10W40 ( so that it wont leak ?)

common misbelief is that 10 40 is much better than 10 30 because its thicker. well actually if you want something thicker stick with a straight 40 weight. actually you have less viscocity range with 10-30 than with 10-40. so in my opinion go with a flat weight synthetic.
