You know what, it's not worth the $ to spend on synthetic oil for a standard engine, turbo, yes, regular engine, no. I use "regular" Mobile One oil, 10W-30 from Wal-Mart. More power to ya if you want to use synthetic, but it's really not worth it and not necessary.

yea, i second what Jason said.

but id recommend getting 10W 30, maybe even 5W 30 since its generally warm over there right?

10W-30 is all you need, keep in mind too that all oil comes from the same hole in the ground and has the same additives.

10w-30 is the viscosity. Brand and type determines synthetic or "natural".

We have these things called dates. If you bothered to check the one for this thread, you'd notice that it said "2003". This means that this thread is 7 years old, ie. you comment was absolutely useless.
