want to change to synthetic Hi!!
This may be a stupid question, but I just bought my 3rd camaro and the prev owner used non synthetic oil and I wanted to change to MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC, it is ok to simply drain the old oil and replace with synthetic?
Thanks,
Sandy

Yup not a problem. Years ago there might have been a problem with it because of leaky seals,rings etc but now a days I've never heard of anyone having trouble by switching to synthetic. Mobil 1 rocks

Either use 5W30 if you live somewhere that it gets cold outside, or used 10W30 if you live somewhere hot (ex: I'm in AZ) and/or if the 5W30 seems to smoke/burn (gets past the rings when hot).
I use Amsoil 10w-40! It is proven to be one of the best if not the best! My 98 Z had 92,000 miles on it when I bought it. The previous owner used conventional motor oil, but he changed it regularly. I switched to the Amsoil and it has not leaked a drop. I am a believer. Amsoil and Mobil 1 are the best!!
