It can eventually clog your oil system in general. NASCAR uses it because their cars don't last long anyway. It's like a person taking drugs to improve short term functionality. Just my opinion. |

Yes...Changed oil at 1,000 miles and introduced it to Royal Purple 5 W 30.
I will now be on a schedule of a 3,000 mile refresh.

Back in the day, it was recommended to wait 3000 miles before you switch to synthetics. That's no longer the case, as current engine manufacturing technologies do not require you to break-in an engine. Many manufacturer's use synthetic's right out the door because of this.

It comes down to synthetics are great for improved gas mileage, and extended drain intervals. |
