Fingers crossed on that promise

Don't forget the fact that these synthetic products have powerful detergent characteristics and can un-do years of mis-deeds (running petro-based oil).

On the plus side, they can free up piston ring deposits with extended use, restoring compression, lowering fuel and oil consumption, and make an old engine run at its best. I know a few folks (W123 and W126 hi-milers) who have switched to these modern oils and have had mostly positive experiences.

It also eliminates this "seasonal oil changeover" mindset and permits extended drain intervals when monitored via UOA. In many cases, operating expenses can be reduced at several levels.

Enjoy
