Irv uses/used synthetic in his P1800? I was wondering about that but didn't know how to find out. What brand? I switched my B230FT to Amsoil about 7K km (~4500 mi) after it's rebuild last summer. The engine now has about 17K km (11K mi) on it and is running great (except for a little d*mn piston slap). I think the synthetic helps 'the slap' a bit though. Anyway, for my summer job I'm working for my Volvo mechanic and the way we convert cars to synthetic (Amsoil) is: Idle engine with engine flush for 15-20 min, drain oil, pour in Amsoil and change filter, put a oil change sticker on the windshield that says to change in 5K km. In 5K km we change the oil and filter and set the oil change interval as 8-10K (usually 8 for Volvos). This method seems to work well.
