Synthetic oil? don't think so.

Seriously, there is NO need for this kind of attitude. Everyone here is trying to help with facts and info. You are the one that brought in the im on a budget, and no one is asking for your personal life info, so there is no need to insult or attack anyone here!

My friend has a 2003 TL Type-S. He only uses Royal Purple and changes his oil every 7000 kilometers. Such a waste of money.
