OK, sorry guys i am an extreme noob to this forum so PLEASE cut me some slack. i tried the serch but didnt get anywhere with it.

Anyways just bout a used 2007 acura tl-s and i want to take extra care of this thing. i had an infinit before it and foung out that full synthetic oil actually was worse for the engine.

so my question is what oild should i use when changing the oil? its got 50,000 miles on it so i doubt id need highmileage or anythingbut im curious as to what king i should use. full synthetic? blend?

Please help me out i would revert to the manual but it didnt come with one. thant is another thing if anyone has a manual they would want to get rid of or sell let me know.

thanks!

conventional or synthetic.
it doesnt matter.
you can switch between the two, if you wanted.

btw, all I did was search for the key words "synthetic oil" and it came up with those results.

Get 5W-30.

What's the difference between that and the 5w-20?

I just switced to Mobil 1 5w-30. Maybe it's in my head, but I swear the car hasn't felt this smooth in a long time. Might have something to do with the fact that I put a more viscous oil in an engine with 101k miles on it...

I agree (either is acceptable though).



Where though did you hear that synthetic was "worse" for your engine? Never heard that before.

Yea I would def. get at least the 5w30. Im using Redline 10w40 until it starts to cool down.

Any oil is fine.
