Excellent read! Good stuff Chicks!.

Now here's a question - I plan on going with synthetic 0w-20 when i do my first oil change. I've been told that changing from mineral to synthetic should be done in stages. I have a feeling this is BS. In my ninja i was told to change to semi first and then full synthetic - any truth to this?

The toyota manual recommends using the lower weight oil for better fuel economy - why wouldn't everyone be using this always?! - i guess it's about education.. this article really opened my eyes!
