Switching to synthetic oil problem

[curtqn]

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will switch to syn oil. While most people use Mobil-1 or Amsoil syn oils.
How do you think about the SuperTech syn oil sold at Wallmart. Very good price. Is it a good?

I'm sure its decent but I would stick to proven syns like mobil 1 amsoil penzoil plat ect. If you are running syn you can run longer oci, might as well have the good stuff in there

I swithed to synthetic at 1,500 miles for my 2007 HB Yaris...at 75,000 miles now, the pistons are slapping, burns 3 quarts of oil per mile, and the tranny shoots red gew all over the cars behind me....If only I had listened to this men at the repair shop...dang!!!

Try putting your drain plug back in.

Supertech at Walmart is excellent and will protect your engine at 99.999999999% as good as AmsOil.

If you use AmsOil, the engine will last 300,000 miles. If you use SuperTech, your engine will last 299,999.98 miles....save your money and go for price because spending bigger $$ on boutique oils is often a huge waste of money and their "extra" protection is so small you'd need an ant's a-hole to see the difference
