[T2] Oil

[Bob]

if the engine is fairly new low miles put a good multiweight oil in and 
change it every 500 miles or so until 5000 then put the synthetic back in 
the engine.   if engine has lots of miles on it doubt swapping would have 
any effect.

>>> I think the advice is sound as it jives with Ratwell’s persuasive treatise on the topic. It’s also in line with advice I recently got  from “itinerant” Colin, at least for summer driving. I now get Mobil 1 15w-50 synthetic with the red label, since it has higher zinc content, sold at Walmart’s online for a reasonable price. I used Castrol Syntec 5w-50 before, but the oil pressure at speed was just too low for my liking.
