Yo! ffej49

Yup for while now, full synthetic in all, had no problem, keeps the engine cleaner but cost more!,

Re: Synthetic oil

Full synthetic in my Jeep, cost may be a bit higher but it's offset by the extended drain intervals. In my case 12000km for synthetic compared to 5000km for conventional oil.

Re: Synthetic oil

The cost benefit seems an easy choice. I've heard also about new filters that extend the life of full synthetic even further.

Thanks for the input.
