Mani, I respect Storm's and your opinion, but in my opinion, you should then just not use a Synthetic oil to begin with. You do know that changing synthetic oils with a good additives pack early is more harmful for your engine, don't you?
I will be checking oil viscosity and deterioration at least once a week. Will be happy to continue on it if the oil is fine. I will change filters at least two times before I hit 10k. If the oil is fine at 10k, I will still not change it.
I tell you guys, she is driving like a totally different car after this treatment. (flush, synthoil, ceratec).
And no, LM is not only for 4x4 guys, it just so happens I am using it on my 4x4 Which is more precious to me than any other car I currently own or have owned
Zank- got it for Rs 3800 for 4 liters. But bought 6.4 liters, he had some extra, and I wanted it in case there was a decrease in oil level for whatever reason.
Your choice of using a pure synthetic oil should depend on many things, cost, oil interval change, how you drive, the weather you live in. For me, I've just put in a 230hp engine in a very old car, so I drive it like a maniac, and the weather is not going to get better until October anyways To each his own, in the end.
