Full synthetic is superior..it can handle heat better in the summer and in the winter start easier....doesn't get thick like regular oil...plus it last longer...between oil changes...less wear on the motor too..Mobil 1 is KING...

Scotty, I love you and the energy and drive you put into your work/videos. You always talk about not wasting money. Seems like you wake up in the middle of the night and bark a few times as to not wear out or over use your dog! Some of us love our cars and our mistresses too. We’ll spend on them…

Most people over think it, Mobil 1 is top tier. Change your oill every 3,000 miles (unless OEM states otherwise) and youll see the difference..

If you change your own oil, there is no reason not to use synthetic (unless it’s a very old car like he mentioned). At most, it’s $3-5 more. Personally, I use the cheapest brand name full synthetic.

More User Perspectives
Newer vehicles are designed to go longer between oil changes (5000 miles) and design to used synthetic blend or full synthetic
@mikestephens8314Scotty, do u use expensive HIGH ZINC oil, or a ZINC ADDITIVE, or just the cheapest conventional SP 10w30 or 10w40 oil with no zinc additive in that old black Vette with flat tappet cam?

@aldistefano4792I have a Hyundai Elantra 2013 with 207k miles, the recommended oil is 5w30. Should i get a thicker oil ? thanks
@sleazyd12Synthetic is garbage.
I always use conventional oil.
Mr. Scotty, watching this video, do you have any new comments about synthetic oil changes? Do you still think they should be done every 10k?
@vcvazquez1whats the difference between toyota brand oil? to a mobile 1 oil?

@rickjames1179Question. I have a 2017 toyota rav4 and a 2016 silverado. The toyota uses 0-20 and the Chevy also uses 0-20 but DEXOS.. can I use Dexos oil on toyota ??
@alejandrogarduno8578I only put 2k miles on my Rx350 in a year. I use full synthetic. Do I really need to change it?
@joelf5565I don't use synthetic oil in any thing, I'm staying with what works for me.
@garrywest7737Look like a vile admin Putin
@noobinho5478Hey Scotty.. Love your stuff man. Fun! But seriously, when regular oil goes in at the factory everything is "peachy".. BUT! If an owner decides to switch to synthetic the owner CANNOT go back! The synthetics change the properties of the gaskets and oil shall obey gravity at that point. I am not a spokesman for any brand of synthetic. But as a former employee of one it was explained to me as said above . Remember, ONCE YOU GO WHACK YA CANT GO BACK!
@HoosierDaddy-o7cI would change the filter a lot more frequently.
@JohnRetzkeWhats considered "high mileage"? Does 125k count?
@1StudMuff1n5w30 fully Synthetic oil for the Turbo powered Engines . Thicker oil damages the Turbos ?

@davidbates2624Changed my BMW x1 every 10000 miles...no problems...mileage at 189000 miles...still drives like a sportscar!
@foxhorsesThank you Scotty. You answered my question. I was thinking of using full synthetic oil in my pontiac vibe. It's high milage. I'm going to stick with regular motor oil. Thank you.
@jeffvoght1632Thanks Scotty 👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@MickeydeegaMobile1 full synthetic, 5w30 high mileage, every 5k miles.
@scottpearce7466I remember running into Scotty in Houston at my old Vietnamese cafe that's closed since!!
@pillwill_713Is 10w30 Castro gtx high mileage synthetic blend oil ok In my 01 Mazda Miata that just calls for 10w30
@creativeexperience6388I have a 2018 Volvo XC60 from USA, 2.0, 310HP
Manufacturer on it’s website recommends 2 types of oil
1. If I search by my VIN, or year+date it states:
Fully synthetic engine oil of at least ACEA A5/B5 - SAE 5W-30
Or
Volvo's VCC RBS0-2AE/SAE 0W20 oil is recommended for extreme conditions.
2. If I search by engine name (B4204T27) it states:
Castrol Edge Professional V 0W-20 or VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20
I have 3 questions:
A) What does volvo mean by extreme conditions?
B) When volvo states it needs “RBS0-2AE” – can I translate it to European ACEA C5?
C) Which oil and why should I pick? I live in Poland where temperature ranges from -25 Celsius to +30 Celsius
Clean oil is better than dirty old oil! All you newbie to changing oil don’t all of us started out knowing nothing about anything level 1 . Just change it on time 3000mile is the standard some cars can go longer but I personally don’t trust that. Example my car says it can go 7500 mile between changes but I change it at 3500/4000 miles and it black and thin really watery at that point already. Synthetic is the best use it none of that semi synthetic or conventional stuff spend the extra $5 n get full synthetic and a new filter every time and ur car will last forever well no issues from lack of oil lubricants
@drydreams8513Love your videos Scotty you taught me stuff my dad didn’t 😂
