it'll be good for your car if you switched to synthetic oil. its really worth it to. And you could change in 4,000 mile intervals. much better protection then conventional oils.

i use mobil one 10-30 super-syn. i love it. synthetic oil is the way to go

i have a 2k se and have used 5-30 for 48k miles now.

does anyone have a technical opinion about switching to synthetic oil now. would there be any negative effects?

just wondering.

they just say not to run it while the engine is first being broken in cuz it protects so well it won't break in properly.
