i'm not going to answer your question because frankly i dont know enough about it to give an answer. but i'm gonna be changing my oil soon (currently at 5000) because i drive my car 10x harder than most people and so therefore my oil is gonna gunk up earlier
Fair enough, appreciate the honesty. Mechanic friends of mine have looked at the advice and agree, but the oil change is more applicable to new engines bolted together and started from scratch. There is some run in of the engine in a new car by VW, just not sure how much and therefore my query. Cheers,
I believe that the problems the OP stated in the first post about synthetic oils was only in the earlier synthetics, no such problems should be experienced with current synthetics.
Before people follow the advice, I would suggest reading up on the properties of both synthetic and mineral oils and basing a decision backed up with a bit of knowledge on the matter.
Also I believe that car companies may have just done a bit of research to determine which type of oil works best with the car. They are not just going to stick any old oil in your brand new VW and hope for the best. They are going to put in the oil best suited.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't do it, just that it should be considered carefully.
