Whats on Monday?

 

Vacation. Leaving for Port Aransas Monday thru Sunday.

Staying here as usual. http://www.port-royal.com/

 

I'm having trouble waiting 5 minutes for lunch.

 

Very cool. The wife and I are going to Milwaukee for the Nation Wide race on June 20th.

 

Hey guys
No work for me today

Anyway quick question...ive always used regular oil in my truck, but i want to switch to synthetic, or even a syn blend

I should be ok right? Ive heard that you can switch from regular to syn but not visa versa...just want to make sure

 

Has it started using oil/ Is it having a problem? Why would you change? I'm old school and don't like changing an oil after an engine is used to it. Another thing, many have experienced leaks after going to synthetic on older engines. If you're bent on changing, I would just go to Motorcraft blended.

 

It doesnt use oil, but my rear main seal leaks. Ive got 112k so maybe i should stick with the regular...The only reason i was thinking of switching is because ive always used Pennsoil even though i know it sucks.

Any recommendation on a better oil then..?

 

If it has 112,000 and is not burning excessive oil, I would keep using Pennsoil. If I bought your truck from you, the first thing I would ask is what oil were you using. I would continue using that same oil. There is nothing wrong with Pennsoil.

 

Got to improve my slacking also, way down on the list!

 

You're pretty much an honorary slacker.

 

Blackedout, keep in mind, that is my opinion and how I have always done it. Someone else will completely disagree, so just do what feels right. My Dad was a mechanic and a lot of my attitudes come from his teaching.

 

Everyone in South Louisiana has to know how to float! Just remember the warm water may not always be caused by the sun! Have fun

 

Alright thanks alot for the quick help blue.
I dont really want to do anything to make my rear main leak anymore so i think ill just stick with pennsoil

Btw im the king of slacking, im such a slacker that i dont even regularly post in this thread because im too busy slacking.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread

 

Thanks, I'm honored!

 

motorcrafts "regular" 5W20 is a synthetic blend

and you will be fine
