Aren't you not supposed to change to synthetic after a certain amount of miles? Correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard that it's bad for your seals and gaskets for some reason that I have forgotten. Might want to check up on it, and if this is true, would it be alright (based on averages) to switch after 16k miles?
That's one of the oldest myth with synthetic oil. There's nothing wrong with switching to synthetic after 16K miles.
i have royal purple in my car and its the best oil out the!!!! penzzoil is the worst oil in the world never get it!!!! and if u guys want another ggood oil go with ENEOS oil !!!!

the second poster is right. and you got the myth wrong... well I guess you got the myth right... but the fact is, and this is for older cars... you can't switch from a detergent oil to a non-detergent oil. Something about the way a detergent oil cleans the motor and all the little moving parts so well that it almost causes gaps or some crap. Then if you were to go to a non detergent oil it would stick in all the gaps... that or leak through, i'll have to break out my "How to keep your volkswagen alive for damn near ever" book.

You have proof? I like to see some UOA of how bad Pennzoil is. I'm not talking about, this person says this or that. I'm talking about UOA fom places like Blackstone.

My point eaxactly. you are going by from what people say, but I have UOA showing lab test of oil that's have been used in a car. You take your pick, would you want someone's word or lab test showing wear numbers.
that's what i thought until i bought this...Honda Full synthetic 5w 20
Looks like my car... Too bad for you, that you live in state that requires you to have 2 UGLY YELLOW license plates..... In Arizona, you only need one in the back. and its a white maroon color.
Yeah I bought my car recently, and I don't know what kind of oil the dude before me used... I just change the oil and put in Fully Synthetic Mobil1 5w-30. Idk, but it seems like it hasn't been running like usual, and sometimes the oil shows up when i check the dipstick and other times it don't.
