do it there is no reason not to. The positives out weigh the negatives completely there was a thread a while back that had a link to a group that tested different synthetics. I use Royal Purple, even though it is kind of on the expensive side it is one of the best.

Yea, I would agree. I use royal purpal as well. Were I go, Kragen auto parts in Ca, I only pay 5 bucks and change for a quart of Royal Purple Oil.

I dont understand people, they rather save a few bucks on there cheap oil to feel good about themselves. Hell, if many people would just change there own oil and use that money to buy the best oil they would be even better off..

I use a K&N oil filter as well, its only 7 bucks more then the low grade filter and 3 bucks more then Mobil 1 oil filter.. ooohhh big deal...lol

Trust me when your in 90 degree+ traffic your mind will be at ease becasue you know you put the best S*** in your ride......
