Re: Engine & Oil Additives email survey

Post by honda600js »

I use synthetic 20-50 in my N600. Since the air cooled
engine puts added stresses on the 3.3 quarts of oil i
figure it couldn't hurt to use it since synthetic has
better heat dissapating properties and far better
thermal protection and lubrcation. My rings are nice
and tight so i don't leak it or burn it. since i
switched it runs smoother with a little more power.
since the tranny and dif use the same oil and the
synthetic oil has a thinner viscosity the engine and
gears have an easier time moving through it. I know
nay sayers out there insisnt this is all fluff, but it
made a difference to me. As for additives I've always
heard they aren't neccesary unless you are trying to
make a pretty much shot engine stop smoking. Hope this
helps!

My 72 coupe runs on 20-50 synthetic and it runs better, and it hold up
better. I still change the oil every 1,500 miles. this car is daily driven
and it runs 36 miles a day and I fill the difference since I made the change.
I tried some Hi-Tach and it sounds like it is running smoother.
love my 72
