My Old 88
I used to give syn oil. Now I just found out my dad has been running regular. He says the manual calles for oil changes every 6,500 miles. Is it O.K. for a car used to synthetic every 3K to run on regular for 6.5K? NA 93 BTW.

Whether or not a car will be safe depends on how clean it is in the oil passages. I switched @ 112, and i'm good. My oil pan gasket might drip every now and then though. :?
