Question about Oil
#2
I use synthetic Amsoil oil (plus their filters) in my 2003 Elantra and 2007 Elantra and give it a thumbs up recommendation.
Nothing scientific but from what I read it's good oil and saves money if you believe in it and are willing to go for long durations between changes.

I wouldn't worry too much about the gunk coming free and ruining anything but knowing that it was going to scrub the engine clean what I did is put some cheap synthetic oil in for the first oil change, run it the regular 3 months and then changed to Amsoil. That first oil change did the clean out then I could do the long haul oil changes on the more expensive Amsoil.
You are driving a 10 year old car, what's the reason for the switch to synthetic? Economy (long driving between changes) or just trying to take care of the car?
If it's economy then great make the switch, increase your drive time between changes to the maximum the oil manufacturer recommends and reap the rewards. If it's just a case of trying to take care of the car, then I'm thinking if the car's been through 10 years of dino oil it's best years are behind it, switching to synthetic now is like quitting smoking at age 75; a fine idea but not going to add years to your life.
