    mine has 185,xxx and it had 90,xxx when i bought it, i could get 250 -300 to a tank , but when i first bought it it was gettin 400 miles to a tank

    but plugs have a good bit to do with it, i put ngk iridium plugs and i got another 30 miles to a tank, and im not bullshittin

    cant wait to see your results!

    yes, the best full synthetic is penzoil platinum , and mobile one, or royal purple

    we have tore down 2 castroil engines in my automotive class and they were full of sludge
