[s-cars] Re: On the use of Synthetic oils.. And high end filters.

[Harold McComas]

Agreeing with LL, just change over to synthetic and use a quality filter. My 
cars previous owner (2nd owner) used dino and I switched to synthetic at 
112,000 miles. No experience with the high tech filters.

I went with Mobil 1, just because it is available everywhere if  I ever need 
a quart to "top off". Been using the SUV oil lately,  5w-40.  :

You are in NH, right? Robbins  Auto carries the "VW oil" as the guy behind 
the counter calls it, Penotsin synth 5W-40.

Hi Harold and Taka.
This thread Synthetic oil flush and high end filters

1:
I bought a low mile S6 recently.  Bone stock and it has 58K miles on it.
This new S6 is so freaking clean I want to take great care of the
engine, more so than my S4 where I used Castrol regular oil.

Previous records show the original owner did not use synthetic oil, yes
the oil changes were periodic using dino oil.

Anyway, I read the articles among you guys and Nate Belo back in October
05 on synthetic oils.


It's time for an oil change soon and I want to switch to synthetic oil
in the S6.

Is there a recommended process for the conversion?  Reading Nate's
replies he wrote.
 ...  60k, so I have to run "Engine Flush" in the Jetta before

Also:  What's the S list wisdom on the use of high end oil filters such
as those found at

Or
