The last time I used cheap mineral oil my engine blew up, the car exploded, my girlfriend left me and my house burnt down. Oh wait, no, everything was fine.

Re: Mastics.... Willami wrote: so full-synthetic is okay in our engines - just too good, some say???? It's ok, there's no such thing as 'too good', but maybe unnecessarily good, they're designed for modern engines that place higher demands on their oils compared to our 'classics'. But read up on it and make your own mind up. http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.htmlPersonally I tend to put 10w40 semi-synth in everything.
