I shouldn't put synthetic oil in my good running stock 230? I just swapped synthetic into my CJ 225 Buick V6 and it's sweet. Granted the lame rear rope crank seal weeps just a little more but it seems to be a good choice. I bought an extra 5 quart jug for the M715 and was going to do it on the next oil change. Whadya think?

Is there any reason why
I run castrol syntec in ALL my motors (even the lawn mower&pressure washer) and they love every minuite of it.

Sure seems like good stuff. I found the best price at wally world (walmart). About 18 bucks for a 5 quart jug. Cheaper than anybody... Here is an interesting study...

I use Castrol Syntec in all of my stuff also. My 2000 Suburban actually picked up over 1 mpg when I switched it after the second oil change.

Just urious Al, did you think there was a reason that synthetic would not be a god oil in the 230? ?By the way you started your first post I wondered...

Don't some seals react differently to different composition oils?? That'd be my only concern that you may develope some leaks...
-
Brute, I was tieing my subject line into my first sentence. I was pretty much looking for someone to say....No don't do it because....
My M715 marks its territory daily. I'm wondering if it will all just leak out faster. BTW, I drove it 25 miles to work today. I sure dig that truck. I can't wait to get the troop seats installed..
-
Al, I'd run the synthetic. I've also heard of the 1mpg that tim mentioned.
BTW, aren't you glad you kept the 715!!!
-
Absolutely!!! That truck is the (how do you say) the shizzle! , work sucks today. Been working all day and 'm not near done. I usually sit around and surf on saturdays like everyone else. I do wish my truck was a 69 though. I won't hold it against it.... I have a great picture of both military rigs side by side. I was thinking about blowing it up and tacking it to my ceiling above my bed. You know so I could look at it while I'm in bed.... Should I plastic coat it???

Have you seen the tear away windshield covers they use in nascar...they would probably work great.
I can't freaking believe I replied to that, you Al.
