Alternating oci`s between dino and synth,a hunch.

[aquariuscsm]

Sooooooooo:

Say if you run an oci on dino,the next one on synth,the next one on dino,the next one of synth,and so on (for example an oci with Valvoline wb,and the next one with Synpower).......it`s said that synthetic oil has the best cleaning power,but has not been proven to cause "less wear" per se over a dino,would that be a good cheap way to keep an engine good and clean on the inside?

Anyway,we were slow at work,got to thinking about oil,and came up with this question.

if you're looking for a cheap way to keep your engine clean, i'd use synth every 4th time rather than every other

i might actually be being conservative too

How about suplementing with a litre of synthetic at each change? Would you get the same benefit?

 

[JHZR2]

depends upon the application.

Run the syn as long as possible and it will be cheaper.

Lot of talk that synth cleans better, but I have never seen proof of it.

 

[Steve S]

Syns with diesters and polyolesters clean .

The new PYB seems to claim some cleaning power. How about that with a pint of MMO during the last 5k miles?

 

[Steve S]

The engine will stay plenty clean with 5,000 mile oil changes.

Do group IV pao synths have better cleaning power than grp III synths?
