Myth: Mineral vs Synthetic EO

(1/10) > >>

HumbleCar:
Just went for my 10K servicing and change to synthetic EO.  The FC is worse than the previous mineral EO for the past 3 tanks.  Find it strange as FC should be better with synthetic oil.  Travel pattern unchange. Anyone has the same experience?

Jo_Lee:

What is the rating you used for the engine oil? Most of us are using 5w30 or 10w30 as it is not too thick.
I hope you got the right rating for the EO.

I dont think TCM care about your FC, as long as it do no harm to the engine.
So it can be EO with higher WT. (>30)

I brought my own EO for service , 10K with Amsoil 5w30 and now on Redline 10w30.
Both serve me well, but somehow I feel Amsoil gives me better feel which I cannot describe.

Still have 8 quarts of Redline with me at home. So no plan to change to other EO from now.
