I'm in the process of doing a turbo install on my 97 Lude w/ 54K miles on it.
It was brought to my attention that it would be wise for me to switch to synthetic motor oil. Whats your opinion?? I just want more input.

And also...how many quarts are you luders using when you change your oil??
thanks

You should be fine to switch to sythetic.

I use 5 quarts.

 

You should have used sythetic from the start, it's just better oil.

 

I was told by a dealer that honda recommends synthetic for all VTEC engines. I think the reason why they recommend synthetic for VTEC's is that VTEC's uses up oil, and maybe by using sythentic, this will minimize the oil usage. I'm not sure.

 

Motul 5W50 gets my vote.
