Hi all,
I have been reading this forum for some time and there are alot of useful info. However I also find some very contradicting views.
It has been stated that doing 3k miles oci on conventional oil is as good as doing 10k miles oci on premium 100% synthetic oil. Both will protect the engine very well.
There are also views that doing 3k miles oci on synthetic may not have any extra protection over 3k miles oci on conventional.
That above being said, why is it that most people/manufacturers insist that synthetic is more slippery than conventional and thus not suitable for break-in of new engine? If this is true, it will only mean that conventional oils doing 3k miles oci causes more wear & tear than synthetic oils... And it contradicts with the above mentioned points.
Golden question? Do synthetic oils or convention oils have lower wear & tear rate over 3k mile oci?
If money is not an issue, can I use synthetic for break-in and drain after 1k miles?
Pls advise.
