Synthetic works but your risking all those extra protecting additives fing around with your housing.

Good old dinosaur oil 10-30 There is a good thread on bearing wear with all this 5/0 20 and 30 weight oil...

But yea, like i said it works but why do it if the proven and recommended option is out there?
Then again i believe in the bare necessities for the most part in a rotary powered car.....

Dave @ KDR puts it simply, he's seen both synthetic and conventional engines ripped apart for years and there is no proving ground in favor for either.

Im to lazy to search but independent tests have show that synthetics do leave un-necessary crap in a combustion chamber.

In my infinite wisdom I decided classes would be cancelled today, so I went out for some fun in the snow although I got an exam scheduled for today ... got stuck ... spent 30 mins driving 2 miles ... and could have done a lot better on the exam ... to make matters even better, our all time historical competitor school got LESS snow and is closed today ....FML


.... but I do bring u this, courtosy of my crappy Storm Camera

XBOX 360... ALL the WAY !!!

The PS3 is only good for its blue ray player. trust me. My girl spent about 650 on a awesome ps3 setup. I have everything for it. and it was not worth it imo. I only use it for movies. But I am a movie buff so I do use it a lot. But BR disc have been eaten py pockets.
