high mileage vs synthetic oil

[Gussie2000]

Ok I just got a VX last month and I really love it but I bought it with very high mileage and it needs a bit of work- I know that the previous owner just used regular oil... I am wondering if it is worth it to switch to synthetic at this point. I am ask because I heard that unless a vehicle owner used synth from the start, then the bennifits of using the synthetic oil wont be attainable.

What do you guys think?

p.s. I just hit 140k and I would like it to go another 140k

Hi Aaronk.

You definately should go do that;Mobil 1 is the way to go. 5w-30 for starters.
Another thing you can have done is adding a bottle of sea foam when you are about to have a the last oil change before switching,which will help remove a lot of gunk within the engine.After that oil change the mobil 1 high mileage formula helps sealing gaskets & seals.If more info about the sea foam is needed use the "Search" button & type the word "sea foam"

We have meet on the 25th this month in rockaway,northern NJ.

Hope you wanna join us.If you do go to the tri-state area & PA meet thread & drop your sign there,all the info you need is there.
