So my car is a 2000, has 200k miles

what kind of oil should i use?

currently using Valvoline Fully Synthetic

Since my car has high mileage, would High Mileage Motor Oil be more benficial?

and what weight should i use? 5w-30 or 10w-30?

just keep using what ur using the only other thing to think about is oil weight

more weight or less weight?

use your brain, the answer is inside, if you just harness the power and think logically

Also, another thing to think about regarding synthetic oils.

If you have any oil leaks in the system, synthetics will not only leak faster, but also the worsen the leak.

Stick to the dino oil you've been running until this point.

Just get a high mileage version.


And when in doubt 10w30

or straight 30

Look in your vehicles maintenance manual.
If you don't have one look on the oil filler cap or on the grille infront of the radiator it usually says what oil to use.

I wouldn't switch from synthetic to conventional

what if its synthetic high mileage oil?

anyone ?

i hear fully synthetic is the best

im using it right now. im at 200k miles should i use synthetic high mileage oil like "Valvoline Max Life" for vehicles over 75k or something?

What made you consider switching now?

I wouldn't think twice about it and continue doing what you been doing.

I have full synthetic in all of my cars. And ams oil in my camaro. My olds has 240k miles on it and still runs like a champ
