The car is a 1995 Mazda Miata M Edition. It has 82000 miles on it. I am the 4th owner. The previous owner says he used Castrol conventional every 3000 miles or 6 months. My question is: Would it hurt to go synthetic, or should I stay with Dino oil? There is a small valve cover gasket leak if...

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=169852&st=0 Conducted here is a comparison oil test of 10w30 for the S2000. Basically states, that Castrol Syntec and Amsoil are the best all around performers.

Gan-san sure knows how to flick that beauty around the 'ring.

My dream S2000 would be a 2006+ AP2 because of the VSA and the better looks IMO. The way I am thinking is: It only takes one time to underestimate the grip available; I'd rather be safe than sorry. The highest priority in my search is that the car has to have low miles. Therefore I am looking...

Yes, I am pretty sure they have an oil life indicator.

I forgot to mention, the car that I plan to buy will have less than 35000 miles on it. Hopefully. Also, I have heard good things about Amsoil, Castrol Syntec, Mobil 1 Extended Performance. I'd venture to say that they perform pretty closely to each other and the Castrol would be the cheapest...

I'm trying to do as much research as I can before I buy this car. I've been over at S2ki.com and they seem to prefer Mobil 1 Extended performance. For those that are not familiar with the S2000 engine, it is a 8000-9000RPM high compression engine with variable valve timing and lift. AFAIK, the...

My main reason was that the drain interval would have been about 3 times less often. Every 8-10K or so.

I put Mobil Synthetic into my Corolla back when it had 83K miles on it for the first time. I am the second ownerof the car since 76K and I am assuming the owner used dino oil before this. Well I am at 88K and I have not noticed any improvement in performance (nor did I expect it) and I am...

So i have been checking my oil level for a few months. The conclusion is that over a period of 3 or so months and ~3000 miles the engine burnt about a quart of oil. I drive her pretty hard but I dont think this is normal. Variable valve timing should not use this much oil. The only logical...

I have not noticed a difference, for better nor worse, in performance so i guess i will go back to regular oil. Are the purolator pureone and napa gold made to go for 7-8k miles and how much are they usually at the local auto store?

Hi everybody, Car: Toyota Corolla VE 5spd Currently I am running on Mobil 1 Synthetic and a Fram Extended performance filter that is rated for 7000 miles. This was the first time that i put synthetic in my engine, my car had about 80K on it when i put in the synthetic. I am at ~85000 right...

Yeah, i agree. I used to go 4K with dino oil, but im planning to go about 7K or so this time.

Wow! thats seems very conservative, considering manufacturers go up to 15K these days. I will do some more research on it and would love some more input. Thanks to all so far.

How long do you guys recommend i go until the next oil and filter change?

I am currently running on Mobil 1 Syntec with a Fram extended guard filter. I realize i made a mistake and i need to know which filter to get and how i would go about changing the existing one with the oil already in the engine. I have read the Oil Study and the consensus seems to be on the...
