I have a 2006 Toyota Camry, should i switch to synthetic oil?

I have gotten many different responses. Some people say its too thick for a 4 cylinder, and some say it will definitely make the car smoother ad it would last longer. I do drive quite a bit. More than your average driver. Not tooo much either. Thanks for your help.I have a 2006 Toyota Camry, should i switch to synthetic oil?
If you plan on keeping the car until it dies you should switch to a good quality synthetic oil(Mobil 1) and a quality oil filter (Wix is usaully what i get, FRAM is junk, the rest arent bad, Mobil one is the best but a bit overpriced) If you plan on keeping the car for less than 200k miles just keep doing what your doing. One thing though. People that put synthetic oil in there cars tend to notice better gas mileage and this two thick argument makes no sense. 5W-30 dino oil is the same thickness as 5W-30 synthetic. Just buy the one that matches your car.I have a 2006 Toyota Camry, should i switch to synthetic oil?
If they say too thick for a 4 cyl they know nothing as all 4'[s are differant and they are ignorant. Synthetic oil along with all fluids should be synthetic as it will not only make engine last but it will cut friction enough to give you approx. 20-30 Hp and 10-15 lb,s of torque. Report Abuse

sure. The people that say it is too thick don't know what they are talking about.





Good synthetic oils will protect the engine better %26amp; last longer between oil changes. Even if you stick to the standard 5000 mile oil change, the engine will last longer.
