once you go synthetic you cant go back, or you shouldnt.
i use Mobile 1 5w30 and 10w30

what's the difference between 5w30 and 10w30?once you go synthetic you cant go back, or you shouldnt.

Does this come in plain english? =/
viscosity on start up, 5w is less viscous than 10w. its like starting your motor with katchup than syrup in the coldwhat's the difference between 5w30 and 10w30?
okay.. higher viscous the better.. so 10w is better....?viscosity on start up, 5w is less viscous than 10w. its like starting your motor with katchup than syrup in the cold
Not always, if it's too thick at start up before it gets to operating temps, it may be too thick for the pump to push through the motor and it goes through the bypass valve and back into the pan instead...okay.. higher viscous the better.. so 10w is better....?
if you were in the cold and you had some syrup does it move fast? no. a liquid with a high viscosity wont move and wont be able to lubricate your motor as quickly as a liquid with a low viscocityokay.. higher viscous the better.. so 10w is better....?

my car is at 134k miles, i believe that's high enough to use synthetic. I bought my car couple months back and I'm not sure what the history of it as far as maintenance goes. But I intend to take care of this car to the fullest..stick with conventional if youre still on it, only switch when needed, synthetic is really only doing its job on high mileage cars, its like all these people running around putting synthetic in cars from 08+ pointless, waste of money.
It's said that Royal Purple is the best, but the most expensive.. they have tests somewhere..
I use Mobil 1. :]
Ill clear it up! Royal purple is one of the better lubricating oils...FOR DANGRS a.k.a. low rpm driven cars with american built muscle. IE nascar, top fuel, and general american muscle cars which shift somewhere in the low to mid 5k range. The reason why royal purple is a bad choice for us "rice burners" is because RP breaks down at high rpm and therefore becomes useless. check the back of the bottle, it is not SM rated. SM rated basically means the oil is rated to handle high rpm. AND as a bonus fun fact, the conventional oil from dollar general, you know the dollar store a lot of us forget about? it is even SM rated, so in theory the DG brand of conventional is better for our hondas then RP.The guys that are paid to say Royal Purple is the best are the ones who say that.
Royal purple is too effin expensive in my opinion. It's not like it will give you more power. It supposedly lubricates better for longer, but i'll bet it's just as good as any motor oil.
I don't really care about the brand when I go for oil.
Most people put 5W-30 in their Integra's. I'm running 10W-30.
petroleum based IS conventionalOkay, so i'm kinda confused.. I'm going to buy my oil at my local kragen store.. i'm at the site and there's 3 kinds: petroluem, blended, and synthetic. Now, the questions is. Is petroleum based is same as conventional?
