Synthetic oil Q - Is it like a normal oil change?
So i want to change to synthetic Royal Purple. Do I treat it like a normal oil change? or do I have to somehow flush the whole sysem of the regular oil? Thanks

Just like normal, they mix perfectly.

Remember, the system has around 8 quarts of oil, only four come out, the rest is in the coolers, so you wont even be 'mostly' synthetic until your NEXT change!

Noob question: When yous guys are talkin "sythetic" vs normal. Are you talkin about "full-synthetic" or a general synthetic blend of some sort.
