There may be new info forthcoming to raise doubts about synthetics.
On the 2008 Caddy CTS, the on-board computer advises me of remaining
engine oil life as a % . As a result, I just had my 2nd oil change at 22k
miles. A few weeks ago I received a recall notice that GM is having
problems with premature timing chain wear and subsequent failure as a
result of extended oil change intervals.
When I bring the car in they will re calibrate the engine control module,
including the oil life monitor which will result in more frequent oil
changes.
A couple of days ago Cadillac sent me a card that entitles me to the next
4 service visits (expires in 1 year) gratis.
If Cadillac has concerns I have to wonder about the other claims used to
justify higher costs for synthetics.
