Default Migrating to Synthetic oil - 98 ES300, 52K - 05-17-2007 , 02:44 PM






Hi:

I recently got a used single-owner 1998 ES300 car. It has only 52K
miles. the car is a single-owner, mint conditon and all service done
in dearlership.

I am planning to start using syntentic oil (AMSOil). I have read
Synthentic oil may not be good for older cars.

My questions,
Does anybody in group migrate to Synthentic oil on a 9-year old car.
Does anyone any comment or suggestion.

Thanks,
-Balki

What ever oil you decide to use, make sure it is certified by the American
Petroleum Institute, as that is the oil recommended by the manufacturer.
Not all ASMOIL products are API certified.

I'm an Amsoil dealer and I also own two Lexus vehicles, a ES300 and a
RX300. You can use Amsoil on older cars has long has they have been well
maintained, such has regular oil changes and have no oil leaks. The
best choice of oil would be either the Series 2000 0W-30, or the 5W-30.
By the way, ALL Amsoil products surpass all car manufacturers
specifications.
