I want to know if regular mineral oil is good enough or if i should continue to use Synthetic oil like i've done in all my other cars ?
Because it is noncompressible, mineral oil is used as a hydraulic fluid in hydraulic machinery and vehicles. It is also used as a lubricant and a cutting fluid.Roesterman said:Don"t use mineral oil... use motor oil! Click on links to see definitions if you are not sure what mineral oil is.

Mineral Oil is the type of oil that is used in "regular" motor oil. In the way you talk.... Synthetic Oil is not motor oil
Motor oils are derived from petroleum-based and non-petroleum synthesized chemical compounds. Motor oils are today mainly blended by using base oils composed of hydrocarbons (mineral,[/color] polyalphaolefins (PAO), polyinternal olefins[2] (PIO), thus organic compounds consisting entirely of carbon and hydrogen.
Thank you for info..always very informative..keep up the good work!Roesterman said:Don"t use mineral oil... use motor oil! Click on links to see definitions if you are not sure what mineral oil is.
