I did switch my engine over to Castrol Syntec 15w50 this past week
end.  There IS a noticible difference in the running of the engine.
Smoother that's for sure.  One thing I noticed right away is that my van
when started ALWAYS had to have the throttle bliped a bit to get the
charging light to go off.  NOW when it's started the charging light is off
right away.  Engine is turning faster and smmother at startup, right ?
Well, that's what I think anyways.  Now for the long distance report.
Later........

Cheers

Frank
