Hello all! I've been away for a few months because I moved house, my PC is packed away and I have a new phone...
Anyway, I've made the switch to fully synthetic since then!
I ran Penrite HPR10 10W50 from 220-230k, then the last change I used the same oil but in a thinner 10w40, the car is currently at 232k.
I had the big initial burnoff many people experience when switching to syn (someone explain this haha) it used 1 liter/quart in the 1st week and then not a single drop for the next 10k!
The synthetic oil I'm using now says it's non friction modified, what does this mean exactly? I know the Durablend I was using before the switch did contain friction modifiers. What are they and how do they work?
