3. most definitely. the thing is a hard starter in the morning and synthetic will help that infinitely.
4. i plan on keeping it until it does not drive any longer, but i take care of it better than anything i've ever owned.
my friend went all royal purple with his GTI and said the performance in everything was very noticeable. his engine is quieter and runs cooler and his tranny floats into gear like butter and he even gets a little better mpg. so i was going to put royal purple in everything, but i heard that they use some type of graphite in the oil that can cause problems with alot of things.
1. I won't argue that point, but it could be wasteful.
2. Good luck finding it, best oil is based on your observations and opinions searching this site. Everyone has an opinion and a favorite oil. We're all looking for "The very best oil".
3. Yes synthetic aids in better cold start protection. But it has been argued, my opinion is it helps.
4. It will certainly help extend its life, by how long? No one will ever know.
Good luck and welcome to BITOG.
