O OriginHacker21 Joined Jan 31, 2006 Messages 2,132 Location High Desert, California Feb 2, 2006 #4 I have a question. I've used Mobil 5w30 (full syn) in my car for most of its life. Now I am switching to a different oil (Castrol 0w30). Should I run a flush change (this 0w30 castrol) for a few hundred miles then do another oil change to make sure I get all the Mobil 5w30 out?
