For me, it just seems to make more sense to run a conventional oil vs. a synthetic. I guess I would consider it if I was going to regularly track my car, but conventional oil and frequent oil changes fit my maintenance routine. |
I agree with Doug. I ran Redline
synthetic for a few hundred miles early on, but then I switched back to dinosaur oil. While my oil pan did have an issue, which is now corrected, I went from a few leaks to zero leaks...knock on wood.
However, if I ever go back to synthetic, then I would use Redline again. It reportedly has one of the highest ZDDP (
zinc) levels in the industry and the company is located right here in the SF Bay Area.
