Engine Oil/Additives for high mileage 3.0

But there is absolutely no foundation for your "precaution about suddenly switching over on a high mileage engine". You claim there are many posts from people reporting major problems after such a switch, but you refuse to provide any examples.

There aren't any examples. There's absolutely no reason "suddenly switching over to synthetic" in a high-mileage engine would cause any problems. So please stop perpetuating this myth.

Yes - and I explained why.

Matt disagrees with you, but you ignore that too.

You can't make me.

People can make up their own minds.

For this engine in particular, I recommend Sakrete, available in 80lb bags at your nearest home improvement store.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Recall: :::"Sure - but I'm willing for you to think me a liar rather :::than go to the trouble. Knock yourself out"

ROTFL!!! Quite the explanation!

Nope. Matt found some examples where people complained about oil leaks. You are claiming "many posts" from people reporting major engine damage due to synthetic shaking loose deposits in high-mileage engines. No such posts exist.

And it looks like you've already made up *your* mind, despite the lack of evidence. That's called 'faith', not 'science'.

Glad I could brighten your day.

No - *you* don't see any, so therefore (in your mind) none exist. Funny how, below, you talk about working on faith - seems to be where you are coming from. Perhaps you would respond that you are also coming from personal experience. Well guess what, oh passionate one - so am I (which you dishonestly continue to ignore).

That's where your continuing dishonesty comes in. I have made up my mind on what I have personally experienced and what I have read (you want to focus on one and not the other). So I'm working on faith according to you - so where's *your* science (and - no - I don't accept "Synthetics are very much the same except if we're talking about things that I can use to claim that they are superior - then they're *way* different - other than that, they are the same").

Bottom line is that I could find the posts - it would take some time that I'm not willing to spend. That combined with the fact that, presented with posts saying precisely what I said, you would dismiss them anyway because it would go against your faith. You can't prove your point - I can't prove mine, which is why, right off the bat, I brought up a controlled study, which neither of us is going to do.
