Synthetic in a Rotary and Subaru !!!!!!!

[clive]

I had a guy on the phone  at the start of the week thinking his RX-8 was dead due to the amount of smoke coming out of the exhaust.

The car and been to a Mazda dealer compression tested etc and all was o/k and they did not know what was wrong other than it probably needed a new engine :o,

After a conversation with him it turned out that last week he decided to "treat his cars" and put  Comma longlife 5w30 fully synthetic in his Subaru and his RX-8!

Once he told me this I told him to just get a couple of oil changes carried out with a cheap 10-30 or 10-40 mineral oil to try and flush the system,


Result, he rung back yesterday to tell me he now has a smoke free RX-8 and is over the moon that his car is OK :King:Thumbsup!

30w fully synth hasn\'t done our Renny\'s any harm...

ohhh and when you check the oil......its looks like mayo on the dipstick of older cars......it\'s just condensation no head gasket as there isn\'t 1! so nothing to worry about.
