Well I just spent several hours reading through threads here and on another forum about Synlube. That guy should be in jail. Or locked up in a padded cell. I'm sure he wouldn't get bored, he could converse with all the assorted trolls, shills, and "satisfied customers" holding court in his...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will keep an eye out for the Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0w-20, or the equivalent PP. It seems to priced friendly compared to some others. I will check a few more Wal-Marts in the surrounding area. If I don't run across any before next oil change I will go...

I have a 2010 hyundai Elantra. I and my wife do a lot of around town driving where the oil never has a chance to warm up and thus my decision to try a 0w-20. It has 10K miles. I have been running it with the recommended Quaker State Conventional 5w20 oil. I want to switch to a synthetic. I have...

New guy here. Recently while searching the internet for information for 0w-20 synthetic oil I landed on a web site where they are marketing synthetic antifreeze and even synthetic water. The synthetic water is $15.00 per gallon. They also have distilled water. What is synthetic water?
