fully synthetic is better then synthetic blend. I went to autozone and they have a poster how much fully synthetic help compared to synthetic blend... plus you're paying for what you get... Don't you wonder why is fully synthetic is most expensive then synthetic blend.......

Re: What Oil is better??? (why8-eg)
i WAS told by a dealership if you have more than 100k miles on your car and you which to full synthetic from regular oil......you might get oil leak from valves!!!
He said they have had alot of problems when people switch like that later in an engine's life...
anyones else have this problem ??

oh. autozone..the ultimate source for Honda knowledge.
(sarcasm intended).
i wouldn't suggest a product just because it's more expensive than others. it's hard to believe people actually think this way- that the more expensive something is, the better it is.

Re: What Oil is better??? (Screwtape:)
i dont know i have heard good and bad, i heard it does cause leaks, i heard it hasn't.....really it is your own preference, i haven't really heard about a car switching to it after 100k miles that it actually benifited them over conventional oil

Agree with ya on that one, one advantage is the oil wont breakdown as quickly with full synthetic but for the price, dont really think its worth it. thats just my opinion

full synthetic > synthetic blend.
ask that same question here:http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi
and you'll get an answer as to why synthetic is better than a blend.
