it all depends on how you drive it. if you have a heavy foot or are modding your car then full synth is the way to go.

for cars over 75,000 miles a high mileage synth blend is perfect.

if you are consistent at changing the oil every 3k or 2 months then conventional will work but a blend will still be better.


I currently run a high mileage oil but when i install the SC topswap i plan to change over to a full synth oil.

I've used nothing but Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic oil since my first oil change at 999 miles (I remember that because it was so close to 1K on the dot).

My Monte now has 178K+ on it and runs like it did the day I drove it off the lot.
