RE: Is synthetic oil better for the engine?
ORIGINAL: austindgarner
My brother has a new saab and his engine requires synthetic oil. He told me that synthetic oil doesn't break down like regular oil. I was wondering if synthetic would be better for my 1.8t engine because of the sludge problems the engines have. Can you go longer than 3000 miles between oil changes with synthetic? Synthetic oil is double the price of regular so I don't want to spend the money if it's not needed.
