Which oil Grade?

posted by  someone claiming to be Rich on  Tue Nov 26 14:20 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Karl;

The following information is from a Mobil web site for Australia.

I haven't been using synthetic, but maybe I will start. It always seemed like a waste of money to change your oil every 3K or 4K and put in synthetic which is apparently, designed to last for 10K+, when the manual says to change every 7.5K for regular driving and doesn't specifically recommend synthetic for regular driving.
