Switching to synthetic at 96k.....
By Mike - 07/31/2003 12:18:53 PM; IP 216.81.142.116
I'm thinking of switching to Mobil 1 10W 30 synthetic in my 96 Explorer 5.0. It uses 1 qt of oil at oil change on Valvoline 10W30 now. I've heard alot of things about synthetic (good and bad). What do you guys think? I'm hoping to get better mileage (14 on HWY now), but I don't want to use more oil or have leaks start. What has your experience been?
Thanks,
Mike

 That's some expensive oil. -- Royce Peterson, 08/01/2003
