so what should i use ? 5w20? is that synthetic?

tsp_2177 · August 21st, 2007, 12:13 PM

how many miles are you waitin to change it if your going by fords 7500 then you actually hurting your engine or it will in the long run i go with every 3000 miles or three months because i here that if you wait longer then that then the oil starts breaking down too waitin a full year is not good imo sry i cant help you with the numbers i think the smaller the thicker maybe i dunno

tsp_2177 · August 21st, 2007, 12:18 PM

also think of it this way too if you use synthetic right now when the engine is brand new then you gonna have to use synthetic for the rest of the engines life because theres no goin back to fossil after that something about a special coating on the block from synthetic plus i think most synthetics are for older cars with more miles even though you might be able so save some scarring on the block and normal wear by using synthetic who knows

Killer_Bee · August 21st, 2007, 01:06 PM

the 10w is the detergent they use in the oil lower the number the quicker the break down and the 30 i believe is the wieght i use 10w30 in the summer when its hot and muggy outside

Youngin · August 21st, 2007, 01:48 PM

im at 2800 - 2900

Youngin · August 21st, 2007, 01:49 PM

im at 2800 - 2900

tsp_2177 · August 21st, 2007, 01:54 PM

wow you must not hardly go anywhere at all ive had my 06 for like 6 months now got it like at 7000 and im already at 11500

Youngin · August 21st, 2007, 01:58 PM

so 5w20 isnt the way to go?

tsp_2177 · August 21st, 2007, 02:08 PM

i dunno if it's the thicker stuff you might wanna go with that since you don't drive that much and it might be better protection over an extended period but don't listen to me i'm no expert

mikethetigerrr · August 21st, 2007, 03:01 PM
