  synthetic oil

frank,

I went to synthetic oil first when doing my own changes. I noticed it was very hard to hold onto the oil filter being taken off that had the synthetic and no problem on the normal oil filter. Both oils were same brand and the normal oil was their best grade.

In my first pickup when I changed the oil only my mileage went up sufficient to pay for the difference in price. This was a V-6 Dodge. When I went to same oil in my large V-8 Dodge it made NO difference in the mileage, but I did keep on using it.

My nephew fround his Ford diesel ran cooler with the synthetic oil with that being only change. Don't remember what he said about mileage.

I was using Castro Synthetic and about a year ago found out they were not making their oil the same as they were and wonder if that is why the mileage did not increase with the V-8. BTW, no longer use the Castro due to the way they make their current synthetic. It is not a true synthetic if memory is correct. Oh, what is true synthetic? A discussion I have seen touched on here in time past.

My vote is for a good synthetic.

Murf,

Biggest thing I know he pulled was 40 foot horse trailer with a couple of horses,loaded running about that WOT on the interstate. Also running large trailer loaded with a heavy hay. All I know is he told me it ran cooler. It did run guage. His was a F 350 with 5 speed manual. About 70 to 75 was tops best I remember. It liked down hill on interstate! Laughing out loud

Good ole EW,

FYI there is a Castro oil. Try about 2 tablespoons and it will give you reason to move quickly and not in circles...unless hunting for a place to land! Laughing out loud

Did you miss the point we have a lot in common with Fidel; we both were attached by the US Fed Gov, we both grow tobacco, we both have a lot Spanish speaking people, northern liberals like it here and want to tell us how to do it. and we neither care how they do it up North! Laughing out loud
