Here's a basic rookie question.....

I have 47k on my coupe and i'm getting an oil change tomorrow. Should i go with synthetic?

 

sure, why not. i've been using synthetic since 10k miles...

 

yah thats the only oil ive used since my first oil change.

 

+1
I switched to Mobil1 after 2000 miles.

Yes, i use quicker state... most people use mobil 1

 

to take the other side of the coin, i don't use synth. probably never will.

 

I dont mean to thread jack but today i went to get my first oil change since I purchased the G.. I asked to put mobil 1 synthetic oil into my car..

It came out to be $57!! thats a lot of money!! is that rite? If it cost that much im going to put regular oil cause 50....

 

go to walmart and get the 5 quart jug of Mobil1 for $25 and change the oil yourself. or you can take it to any place to change the oil and just pay the labor.

Is it normal for a synthetic oil change to cost 57? actually it was normally $67 but i only had $57 so i got $10 dollars off

 

thats exactly what i do !!!

 

i geuss us good lookin people are pretty smart too

57$ is pretty cheap, synthetic should have to be changed 6-7k miles... where regular gets changed at 3-3500... It pretty much comes out to the same thing.

 

it's not cheap. Does it really benefit the car?

 

yup... last longer (in a easy put way )

 

i remember reading somewhere that it is not recommended to put synthetic oil after certain miles.. not 100% sure.

i've been using mobil1 synthetic since the third oil change..
