- I run synthetic Mobil 15-50w in my daily driver. Do NOT use this oil to break your engine in as there is a good chance the rings will not seat correctly. The synthetic does get by the seals easier t

- I was wondering if many of you use a synthetic oil rather than a fossil fuel oil in your cars. I recently was told not to use synthetics unless I wanted to see most of it on my driveway in a few days
