Subject:high idle after synth oil switch?
From:Caston/Payne

Just changed to Castrol Syntec <underline>Blend</underline> and have a
question for those running synth or synth blends. After your motor ran
and "acclimatized" to the other kind of oil, did you have to reduce the
idle because it began idling higher than before?

I ask because after running Vinnie for about 350 miles with the blend
stuff the idle began settiling aout 150-200 rpms higher than
previously. Any thoughts?
