ok, so got a few questions before I do my next oil change...and sorry if this isn't really meant for the v6 section, I use this section a lot so I just posted it here
my 01 v6 has 80k miles on it, and I have been using plain old Pennzoil 5w-20
Would it be ok for me to switch to full synthetic with that high of a mileage?
And is there any special way to do that, or is it just changing the oil like normal and just using the new oil? I've heard some people say you run the new oil for a few hundred miles and change it again...
Also, I am thinking of switching to mobil 1 full synthetic, switching from pennzoil to mobil won't need anything more than a normal change will it?
I've tried to use the search, and anytime I find an answer, it's for a low milage car, I just want to make sure all of this is ok for an 80k mile car
