Yea I find synthetic a bit smoother. I was wondering what do u drive?
Do u do ur own oil changes at a car garage or home garage?
It feels impossible to change oil on my car. I fear i might break something and spend more money repairing it when i could've just paid someone to change the oil for me. haha, but i was under apprenticeship under a porsche mechanic for 4 years. So maybe i'll manage. I'll try it one day.

You shouldnt be afraid of trying its the best way of learning,and its hard to destroy something when you change the oil.....

haha thanks but trust me, 560's aren't exactly going up in pricing. u'll easily find one for about 30-40 thousand CDN.
all the 16-25 year olds call me a pimp...
all the 26-40 year olds call me daddy's boy...
all the 40 + year olds envy me....
i've heard it all. haha.

It was the SL55 AMG for the 80's... 8)
I think they had a 279Hp version and a 300Hp one...maybe I'm wrong, because they always showed two different outputs  !
