OK my car previously had syn oil in it. I did over 230 miles with it to the full tank in my Hf. i recently changed oil to valvoline high miles cuz i was being cheap. I lost 60miles tot he GALLon. Booo . Will im going back to syn oil.

what do you all prefer for syn oil.
Mobile one syn
Mobile one super syn
valvoline syn
castrol syn
royal purple syn

 

WTF? 230 to a full tank on an hf, what's that, 25 mpg? Your car is fucked up, I wouldn't trust your testing.

 

Actually, only Amsoil and Redline make a true snythetic oil. The others are just much finer petroleum based oils, meaning they can claim to be synthetic, but aren't as good as the real thing.

 

He just forgot to mention that it has a blown alcohol 500ci V-8 in it.

 

In my hf i dont fill up with less than 400 miles on the tank

HE"S RIGHT!

AMSOIL BABY!!!!!!!! PUT THAT SH!& IN EVERYTHING: tranny, engine, and fuel additives, you should have a HUGE change in gas milage

the only way to test the gas milage is to fill it set the milage counter, then run to empty and fill it again (then you see how much exactly gas you used during those miles divid the miles by the gallons you just put into the tank ... a lot of people just fill it on empty and divide what they just put in it to the miles.. and thats not a true test...

 

if you guys get more than 230miles on a full tank. Then yes my car is indeed messed up then. Should i use fuel injection cleaner? i have not seen redline or amsoil syn oil in the stores. Do you have to ordrer it from napa?

 

start with a good tuneup:

__clean or replace air filter

__replace fuel filter

__replace pcv valve

__replace spark plugs

__replace ignition wires

__clean distributor

__wire-brush grounding points

__clean IACV (if applicable)

__valve lash adjustment

__adjust idle

__adjust timing

__oil change

 

Here's a question: Which amsoil oil should I buy? I went to their online store and found a plethora of choices.

 

Hell, I get 300 to an HF tank with a B16 motor. You got problems for sure.

 

put dollar store oil in that **** for best performance

 

I get 275 to a tank in my 91 si with turbo b16 in it. I beat the **** out of it. You definitely need a tuneup.

You forgot Mobil 1. And all 3 of those oils are called Group 1 synthetics. there all just as good as the next. The only differences are what extras are in them. Amsoil and mobil1 are the best IMO, and redline is just overpriced, like royal purple.

You really shouldnt offer advice when you dont know what your talking about. None of those oils are a group1. Mobil1 is a group4, amsoil is a group4 with some ester, redline is a group5 oil. Royal purple is a group3 hydrocracked dino oil with all the wax esters removed, way overpriced for some decent oil with purple dye. If you can afford it, redline is one of the best oils for your car and you can extend drain intervals significantly.

hands down on every outside test done AMSOIL has been first on every ball bearing friction test and heat test... it is a lot of money but by far a huge investment worth getting... if you have to spend 24dollars every 3000-4000 i think its worth it to have an engine last. (there is a huge difference in color too when you change your oil its not as burnt therfore its not breaking down as bad)sorry if i sound like a broken record but i was sold on the stuff the same way and those that proved it to me... (my friend races 4 wheelers in hairscrambles and he loves the **** he said its almost like new on every oil change)

try this its the amsoil site... https://www.amsoil.com/storefr...D=228
its a normal motor oil i run 10-40 in my engine and tranny, sorry i didn't order it on line i ordered it through my buddy... one of the companies that did the tests on all the "synthetics" you won't find it in any stores unless they are deal with amsoil, which most don't
