If it’s a 5w30 it’s a 5w30, that’s why we use that norm, to tell how the oil react in hot/cold states. (And then we have more norms to determen what quality of oil we need)

The synthetic part is aditives that enhance the oil, not just making it thiner, donno why you would think that?



Damn I didn’t know that, but It’s because of the engine design (seals) If you rebuild it with new seal, i would deffently go with synthetic from there!

We don’t really have any rotory engines here in Denmark, so never worked on one.

The Oil data, was from Elf that supply our oil

We're not talking about weight. You clearly dont know enough to understand. Convential oil is a thicker oil. Do a oil change after 500 miles with both. You'll see the synethic flows more freely. The regular oil will run thicker. Not as smooth. Guess what? When you're at high mileage with a leak ass gasket or something in your truck, you're not gonna want your synethic oil to be so fluid. You're gonna lose it a light faster. It's not a hard concept to understand. Stop thinking you know everything because you can read Google.

It's not technically thicker oil.

The viscosity just varies between the two at different temperatures. Such as the thickness would change on a normal range of 190 degrees.

Nobody here is trying to break it down to a science. Fact is in certain situations it's better to use as it would seep more slowly than using synthetic would.

For its purpose, for sure.

u dont need to change oil until mileage is reached.

time is not a factor unless 5+ years.


Incorrect. Oil starts breaking down after 6 months. Oil change minimum once a year even if only 1k miles after the last oil change.

I mean you can force the car to run on old oil for probably thousands of miles. Doesnt mean itll fun fine when it's done. Use your brain.

If you leave the same oil in your car for 5 years because you haven't hit your mileage you really have no brain. Its no point in arguing with your type.

Simple google searches will prove your thoughts are complete myths made up in your head.

Have fun with your car down the road "running fine" :rofl:
