Synthetic Oil Cost

Im putting this here because it has to do with a Turbo. When you get a turbo, its recomended to change the oil every 2500 miles, or atleast thats what EVERYONES told me. Also that they use synthetic oil now. Could i still use the same oil i use now or will i have to use synthetic oil? and how much does the oil cost by its self?

Will i have to use a "better" oil filter? if so, what kind? how much do they run


Never mind i found out, CLOSE THREAD

better to use synthetic. You have vtec man, use mobil one. Its 5 bucks a quart. you need 4 quarts. SO basically 20$ oil change instead of cheap 15$ oil change where they use shitty oil and dont ev en change the oil filter.

use mobil one synthetic oil 5w 20. Its made for honda/acura cars.

LOL what? Its true man. Ive seen mechanics use the same oil filter after an oil change. Then it came to me that I should do it my own using one of the best types of oil. Also I have nitrous. I drive 300 miles a day too.
