Here is the skinny on lube, KY is nasty and has a bad after taste. Oh wait: Wrong forum:
Regular oil is a fossil oil, a butch of little dead animals decaying and leving behind an oily residue. after awhile the viscosity breaks down due to heat and mechical cycling..
With Synthetic your viscosity break down is very low, for those who don't know what viscosity is:
When you pour your oil in cold it's thick and pours like syrup, but once it heats up it pours like water. With synthetic it almost pours the same hot or cold.. and it is slicker.
With fossil oil once it is burned all those little dead bodies collect and leave a bi-product called oil sludge. which is why most people like to change their oil while the oil is hot or use oil flush to wash most of it out..
The Rumor: If you switch to Synthetic on a high mileage car your piston rings will get blow-by.. this is only true if you are already losing compression in that cylinder.
All this to say make the switch!! you will love it and after about the 3rd oil change your oil will come out as clean as it went in..
Oh did you get the money order, and I still didn't install it yet? fabbing the turbo piping still...
