After a few minutes of driving it really kicked in...I thought I had an inline 6 for a sec, really smooth stuff. I should have had this done much, much sooner...

Make sure you use CD-2 if your lifters are starting to make noise. You'll know it when you hear this annoying tapping noise when you start the car.
synthetic is all I ever use in my cars.
GREEN is the new BLACK
ehh, wtf is CD-2?
ehhh, go to the main page and read my testimonial - www.thegalantcenter.com
you still haven't told my what car you own. What the fuck is up with that?
Rich,
What ever happened to Reslone? I thought that was the recommendation! I started using that because you mentioned it and kind if like it! Now you have switched additives? Man, I can't keep up!
Mobile 1 is so worth the extra cost.
113500 miles on my V6 and it runs smooth as glass.
Since all I hear is good things about Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil, on my next oil change I'm gonna try it.
I will let ya know if I feel the difference......

The closest place I can buy Mobil 1 is about 13 miles away, so I stick with Castrol and Quaker State...maybe I oughta drive out there and see if it's worth it.

So now I know to use Mobile 1 next time. Has anyone heard anything about that royal purple brand? I think it's called that, but I don't know anything about it and don't know where to get it.
Sorry about that. In that same post (on the old UBB site) I later said the tapping noise came back. Reelax even agreed with me on that. He originally recommended Rislone. In my opinion, CD-2 is a far better product. Been almost a month and the car is running smooth and the valves are nice and quiet.
You're really not going to feel the difference. Just knowing that the Synthetic doesn't break down or need to be changed as frequently as regular oil is the benefit. I'll say check your oil regularly, too. I go about 7,000 to 10,000 between changes but add a quart or two when needed. During these extended periods, it's best to add 1 bottle of CD-2 and 1 bottle of Mobile 1. Then at the next oil change, add 4 bottles of Mobile 1 and 1 bottle of CD-2 (for the V6).
Rich how often should you use that CD-2?
Jason
Well, like I said above, since I go about 7 to 10,000 between changes, I would add the CD-2 around then, as the oil will be pretty dirty at that time and the valves will start to stick by then. Once you add the CD-2, it'll clean up the sludge that had build up on the valves. But this is just me. I'm somewhat lazy when it comes to oil changes.
I would add the CD-2 when the engine is starting to sound a little rough or at each oil change. It is a detergent so I imagine that it should not be used in place of oil but added when needed.
Just thought I should share this with you all, I to have starting using mobile 1 about 2 changes ago, also I use to just put 87 octane from whatever gas station and think it's all the same NO NO NO!!!! after the last oil change I started using premium from Texaco (my galant is a 4 cycle) and I feel the difference. I don't understand those people that say it does not help or do anything better I say yes it does. Better gas milage, better acceleration, smooth reving.
Exactly. I used this technique where I get Premium for the price of Regular. I can tell that the technique works by the way the car performs. If I did it right, I have immediate performance when I hit the accelerator. If the technique didn't work, the car hesitates and is more sluggish. I then know I just put 87 in the tank. So far this technique only works at Shell, Texaco & 76 gas stations that uses a single nozzle at the pump.
i just got it done today (penzoil) but havent noticed a change yet.
thats absolutly false.
the oil needs to be changed at the exact same intervals. i would NOT recommend going 10000 miles on 4 quarts of anyones oil.
in regards to the oil additives, well, thats up to you guys. In reality, it has not a single proven benefit other than a psychological boost.
