Wow! So far nobody uses a group 3 "synthetic" (or nobody will admit to it!) [Razz]

Castrol Syntec 5W-30
quote:My current one is in the UOA section. Although soon I will do a 5000 mile UOA on the Syntec. I just can't on this round of oil. I switched to a K&N filter about 800 miles in on my last oil, and didn't change filters on my last oil change. So I plan to go only 3000 on this round, so as to not go beyond 6000 for the filter. Although I will then do 5000 miles on the K&N and the Syntec and see what we get. If it looks good, hopefully less viscosity drop than on the 3000 mile UOA, then my routine will be A K&N and 5W-30 Syntec for 5000 miles from here on out.
