I read some of you switched to synthetic oil and was wondering if you can let me know which one suits I30 well. Did ya really see significant changes by switching over ?

Thanks.

98 I30 ... Just clicked 100k :-)

 

I switched to Mobil 1, fully synthetic. You won't really notice a difference because this isn't so much a performance enhancement. It's more about engine longevity. One of the minuses is that it's more expensive, but that's mitigated by the fact that you can safely extend the period between oil changes.

 

Ive never used anything but Mobil 1 Syn. in any of my cars. I put it in a 13 year old SAAB, and the engine runs like a top. The transmition is another story though. I am looking at switching my ATF to Mobil too!

 

thanks for responding ...

what oil filter do we have to use ? Should it be a special type of filter ?? thanks

 

I use the Mobil 1 filter as well.
