Info on what Oils to use

[tdonnell]

After I changed to Mobil 1, my car started burning oil, about 1 quart per 3000 miles. I was running 10 30, but now I am going back to 5 30, ne1 have any ideas why my car started to burn oil when I switched to synthetic? Because of its thinner structure? If I add an oil cooler will it help it out? I will need one when I go turbo anyway, and it won't hurt anything now so why not? Are the ones in the store nice? Any other suggestions on oil coolers and possible sizes for a 1.8L tib? Thanks for any help.

stay away from royal purple it started to burn in the car way before it's time was up. 5W-30 is not good all year for most of us that live in the upper united states. the first number of oil is the winter thickness the second number is operating temp thickness i am now running castrol syn with no problems
one way to see how your oil is doing is to have a oil gage and see how much presure it is building at cold and operating temps in the summer i run a 15-50 and in the winter either 5-40 or 5-50 in my V-6
the myth of syn makng seals leak is false normally what is happening is that the syn oil has taken the sludge off of the leaking seal and now the oil is seeping through
new engine breakin - use conventional but no one has proved that syn is bad ... yet
switching back and forth has not shown problems but i imagine that it could cause some oil mixture problems down the line.

So what oil is better ??? synthetic or just regular? as i went to the hyudai dealership i asked if they could put synthetic oil in my 2005 tiburon GT, he replyed and told me that it is not good for the engine.... hows that i thought synthetic was better than regular? so if anyone could tell me which is better it would be really appreciated i plan to add some preformance parts to it later on the road and i want to keep my engine in top shape.. so which is better? :??: sorry for any type errors.

Up north in Canada we have whats called Block Heaters so you can still run 5W30 but for summer usage since our days a very long and hot moving up to a 10w30 for tuned engines isn't a bad ideal.

Has any one tried Red Line Synthetic Race Oil? It's pretty much the top of the line at eight bucks a quart but I hear it's really worth it. I am thinking about putting it in my girlfriend's Tib.
