Is synthetic oil really worth it?

How often does synthetic oil have to be changed in a toyota pickup?



Someone told me that If I %26quot;run%26quot; synthetic oil all I had to do was change my oil filter/top off my oil every time it was time. Is this true/recommended?Is synthetic oil really worth it?yes its worth the cost,and you still have to change synthetic oil ,you just don't have to change it as often,i use it,and i only change it every 8 thousand miles,and ever who told you it didn't need to be changed just topped off was wrong in this case,all oil has to be changed,with synthetic oil just not as often,its the best oil you can buy right now though and will help keep the engine going a lot longer,good luck with it.Is synthetic oil really worth it?thank you.

Is synthetic oil really worth it?Depends on the Manufacturers recommendation....a lot of synthetic oil is good for thousands and thousands of miles...Is synthetic oil really worth it?Your owners manual spells out oil change intervals - follow that, and be able to prove it, or your warranty may be voided.



Synthetics may offer longer change intervals - you can have oil analysis done to check the chemical and particulate condition of the oil.



Best advice - pick one oil (brand and grade) stick with it, change your oil per the owners manual recommendation - or more frequently. Change the filter every time. The only people I know have had engine failures due to oil tried different kinds of oil or mixed different kinds.Is synthetic oil really worth it?I seriously thought it was good....until I tried it..

It may be good for lubrication..but I had 3 engine seals start leaking.

When I went back to regular oil the leaks stopped.Is synthetic oil really worth it?No change the oil the every 3k or 3 months like always. Never switch oils. If your truck has ever had regular oil in it don't run synthetic threw the engine because the two don't mix, your just creating problems. Neither really has an advantage. Synthetic just sounds like it protects more. I've been discussing diffenent oils in school for the past week. trust me, my instructors are guys who have been in the field for years and are by the book.Is synthetic oil really worth it?Yes, it is worth it. It will decrease engine friction, with a possible small increase in mileage. I wouldn't go more than 5000 max between oil changes though. It is not recommended to go back to regular oil in your engine once you have switched to synthetic. I use it in all my vehicles, and my motorcycle as well.Is synthetic oil really worth it?change it every 5000km's.

it is worth it, its engineered to have all the prefered qualitys mineral oil does not. look it up on the net it is very eye opening.Is synthetic oil really worth it?All depends on the year vehicle you have. Synthetic is good for the newer engines but the older engines say pre '95 Id say no but as for the %26quot;just changing the filter%26quot; that is a lie. Always change the oil when changing the filter
