thanks allI would like to use pennzoil platinum synthetic oil for my next oil change?
the general consensus is if you're using synthetic that it will last longer and most people will do a full synth oil change every 10k or so but will change the filter every 3 months/ 3000 miles and top off the oil at those intervals.





Pennzoil platinum is a good synthetic oil to use for cost and performance. I don't see any problems for using it in your car. For more information there are guys who know better than me at this adress http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/.

you can change it to synthetic ,that's the best thing you can do for your car,and you can run a lot longer on an oil change also,id run it at least around 7500 miles before i changed it that oil is meant to take it,its the best thing you will ever do for your car,good luck with it.
As long as it meets the requirments for your engine - go ahead.





But not changing your oil every 3000 miles is the worst idea ever.





It still breaks down, and will not lube properly, spend the 40.00 and save the 2000, for the new engine.
you can use any motor oil in your car as long as it meets the manufacturers specs, which includes every major name brand oil out there. it will not harm your car to use synthetic this oil change and regular motor oil the next. synthetics may cause an existing oil leak to leak a little worse due to it's smaller molecular structure, but that's about the worse that could happen. use it if you like. I would say the oil type myth is a wives tale but it was really started by old farts that use shade trees instead of taking their vehicles to a good mechanic.


as for benefits, you may save a little fuel, it lubricates the engine faster and better, it won't break down (the oil, not the car) if you over heat the engine, you can extend your changes to 5 or 6k miles.
