Hey guys, I am getting my oil changed later this week at the erin mills dealership and I want to get full synthetic put in because I want to put the best in my car and I know its going to be more expensive but thats not a problem but what brand do you guys prefer/recommend? I think the service manager said they have Castrol Full Synthetic and Mobil 1 Full Synthetic.....

 

I know some guys will say Motul but i use mobile1 coz i know those often go onsale @ Canadian Tire lol i would go for things that are more accessible but thats just me

 

i use castrol edge engine oil n it runs good

 

I'm making the switch to synthetic too with my next oil change (next week).

My mechanic friend got some random gernamn brand.
I'm going to try it out.
If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

Next time though, I'll get some mobil1 or something.
I plan on still changing my oil every 7k or so (I do 5k currently with conventional oil).

 

i run dealer mobil 1..they have all service records incase something happens..is my thinking. wont try anything else have heard bad things

 

Mobil 1 is what I run.

0w20, many people think its thinner but its not. Same thing goes for the 0w30 vs. 5w30. at operating temps, its the same thickness as regular 5w20.

If your using it as a normal driver in the winter, you should run 0w20 synthetic. even if it isnt Mobil 1. go Synthetic

 

i use moble 1 full syn

 

mobile 1
