Hi,
My Cerato V2 Auto going for next servicing at 6K km soon. So should i stick to mineral engine oil(inside my car) or change it to Synthetic?
Cos my Agent "Advised" us that Synthetic can run for longer distance of 10K km while mineral can up to 5K km then might need to change....
Can u guys gif me ur experience advice on the difference? 10Q!

bro...IMO continue to use mineral oil till you V2 reaches 10k, then switch to synthetic oil....it's will be easy for your to monitor the next oil changes...20k, 30k 40k...etc

If lazy would just get those available at the servicing place... Redline lah bro.. Its ester based so it gives maximum protection against wear like the Motul 300V, but price wise, its cheaper than Motul.. Using this so far.. No complaints..

Between them,not much difference except the additional additives they add.Depending your usage,high usage(more mileage clock within short period,synthetic.Low usage just use mineral oil.).Note engine oil storage life(not used)life span is only abt 2 years.So its up to you.
