Re: Syn oil issues

[Richard Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, I have used Syn oil occasionally. I don't like
to use it if I'm gonna change it frequently anyway.
Kinda pricey. I had a mid 70's car that used EON syn
oil and I only changed it every 25K but did change the
filter a few times. That is what was reccomended and
it worked very well. I'm interested in trying to get
my operating temp down more and I know syn oil does
help with cooling. Also the Zinc thing is a good
point.
