10w30 v. Synthetic

[Hanalei]

I've only had my VX for 6 months and need to know what would be the best oil for it. I've heard that synthetic is the way to go but I'd like your input. Gotta take good care of my baby!

Thanks!

One word - SYNTHETICS!!!!!!

Use it for everything, engine, diff, tranny. Mobil 1 or Royal Purple is the way to go!!

In addition to Mobil 1 and Royal Purple, Amsoil is also a frequently mentioned ......... it tests as good or better than just about anything available ........

The european oil industry wants to make 0 W 20 the new standard for all cars, so that ther wil never be a question of what oil to use.

Filter and 5.5gts of oil is $33 out the door includes 7.5% sales tax....... best deal best deal out there..and you stay clean

I've had good luck so far with Mobil 1 Super-Syn 10W-30.

I have it also in my Pontiac Fiero Formula with 196,000 miles!
