Synthetic Oil ~

wut kind of engine oils r u guys using ... impressions ??
im currently using Motul 8100 5W30 ECO-NERGY synthetic
it's great but i didnt use any other oil on my car b4 except the OEM one .. ~
i did notice some huge differnces between the OEM oil and the synthetic
engine runs more quiet, revs faster and my frd told me they feel it's faster than before .. ~ however , it's not fair to compare OEM oil with synthetic oil ..
gonna have my second oil change ... if there is nthing wrong with it i might stick with 8100 ... ~

I'm using Amsoil 0W-30 Series 2000. Expensive stuff ($100/12 qts). But they claim one year/24k miles between changes. Amsoil outperforms every other synthetic in wear tests.

Fuel economy went up a bit (33 MPG highway, 27-30 mixed), engine still runs smooth (I couldn't say I really noticed a difference when I switched though).

I used this oil on my wifes car because she was driving 120 miles a day to work for a few months. Even though the oil lasts 24K miles, your oil filter will NOT. So dont forget to change your oil filter as normal.
