going from non-synthetic to synthetic oil
Hi guys, I was just wondering if I should do something in particular during the oil change if im changing from non-synthetic to synthetic ... thank you very much
nothing i no about but i have allways used synthetic
best to add a litre of lucas with the first few syntetic oil changes to freshen up the old seals so they dont start leaking..synthetic oil has a much smaller molecule and can find little gaps to start leaking from that conventional oil cant leak from.
i always use castro synthec 20W50 in my r`s.remember im in Fl ,i would use 5w30 for winter use
I am using 5w40 ... Irish what do you mean by lucas ? would you have a link to the correct product
this stuff works great http://www.lucasoil.ca/data/tech_HDOilStabilizer_eng.pdf
so I add the oil in the motor then add some of this in ?
you shouldn't need lucas oil stabilizer, if u got leaky seals, you got other problems, synthetic oil is not the cause. neways for reference http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm
