Synthetic Engine Oil
Any information on and/or experience using sythetic oil in the Diamante's 3.5 Liter Engine?

Generally, it is widely regarded that synthetic oils extend engine life as you probably know. But, extended durability would not be the reason for using Synthetics in my opinion. I have found that cars with well maintained engines using traditional lubricants are usually scraped or sold due to failure of other expensive components such as the transmission or just a combination of of a lot of little things. By the way, have you had the infamous heater core problem yet?? |

Re: Synthetic Engine Oil
Thank you for the synthetic engine oil information, Papasmith. Absolute engine and seal compatibility is what I am more concerned with. Perhaps the benefit of using sythetic engine oil is only negligible and vehicle use span will be limited by the failure of other components, as you mentioned.
The heater core in my 2001 Diamante is good. Does this component in the Diamante have inherent issues that may lead to its failure? Take Care |
