Synthetic Oil? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be tjts1 on  Sat Mar 11 15:56 CST 2006 [RELATED]

There is really no danger in mixing any proportion of synth and regular oil as long as they are both apropriate for that engine on their own. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with using home brew at every oil change.
The oil companies make a lot of profit by selling "synth mix" oils to the public. But you never know exactly what the proportion of synth to dino is in those oil. In fact a lot o those oils at 90% or more regular oil and very little synth. At least if you make your own brew you know exactly how much of each is going in.
Good luck
Justin
