Engine Oil/Additives for high mileage 3.0

But there is absolutely no foundation for your "precaution about
suddenly switching over on a high mileage engine". You claim there
are many posts from people reporting major problems after such a
switch, but you refuse to provide any examples.

There aren't any examples. There's absolutely no reason "suddenly
switching over to synthetic" in a high-mileage engine would cause any
problems. So please stop perpetuating this myth.

 

Yes - and I explained why.

Matt disagrees with you, but you ignore that too.

You can't make me.

People can make up their own minds.

For this engine in particular, I recommend Sakrete, available in 80lb
bags at your nearest home improvement store.



(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

 

Recall:
:::"Sure - but I'm willing for you to think me a liar rather
:::than go to the trouble. Knock yourself out"

ROTFL!!! Quite the explanation!

Nope. Matt found some examples where people complained about oil
leaks. You are claiming "many posts" from people reporting major
engine damage due to synthetic shaking loose deposits in high-mileage
engines. No such posts exist.

And it looks like you've already made up *your* mind, despite the lack
of evidence. That's called 'faith', not 'science'.

 

Glad I could brighten your day.

No - *you* don't see any, so therefore (in your mind) none exist. Funny
how, below, you talk about working on faith - seems to be where you are
coming from. Perhaps you would respond that you are also coming from
personal experience. Well guess what, oh passionate one - so am I
(which you dishonestly continue to ignore).

That's where your continuing dishonesty comes in. I have made up my
mind on what I have personally experienced and what I have read (you
want to focus on one and not the other). So I'm working on faith
according to you - so where's *your* science (and - no - I don't accept
"Synthetics are very much the same except if we're talking about things
that I can use to claim that they are superior - then they're *way*
different - other than that, they are the same").

Bottom line is that I could find the posts - it would take some time
that I'm not willing to spend. That combined with the fact that,
presented with posts saying precisely what I said, you would dismiss
them anyway because it would go against your faith. You can't prove
your point - I can't prove mine, which is why, right off the bat, I
brought up a controlled study, which neither of us is going to do.
