Analise your oil, I doubt you will need oil change that often. Especially on a boat like ES. Unless you floor it like a vette :laugh:

Is it even possible for a car to go faster at a given RPM?

My car is definitely smoother with the synthetic and the new air filter. My wife notices it as well.

I had an air filter post here too before. My air filter was filthy, clogged, there were leaves inside past the filter clogging shit. When I cleaned everything out, put in a new K&N filter, my car performed so much better smoother, it even dropped RPM's going at the same speed. No on here believes me, whatever haters!

Changing a dirty air filter for a NEW one, yea that will help. Saying it was because of K&N, No. Only people with no knowledge and the kind that buy infomercial products late at night run K&N.


And Syn oil makes peoples cars ride better. :confused: Are you retarded, I mean really. Think about it.

Damm there are some really dumb people out there. Its oil people, not some magic fluid that makes your car faster, penis bigger, and gives you the winning lottery numbers.

Yo I feel my car running better after every oil change. Also when I did my bikes first service and changed to Amsoil the thing ran way smoother and the shifts clunk less.

Wait wait wait.... you changed the oil and your car shifted better!? :confused: :confused:

Motor Oil != Transmission Fluid -just as- Engine != Transmission

I am with the majority of people though - the engine has a smoother sound to it with Synthetic (especially right after an oil change). Outside of that and 10K Mile changes, I haven't noticed any difference. Hopefully Stevie (My trucks name :) ) feels better with it though :)

I have seen you here on this forum before so I know you aren't an idiot :p Read my post again noob ;)

Or wait I'm not feeling that lazy today:

V-Rod uses the oil for all 3 parts, tranny, drive, and engine.

As for car, no it doesn't shift better after an oil change, DUH! But it did shift better when I changed the tranny fluid along with a bottle of Lucasoil tranny additive.

See - I knew you had posted here frequently as well and I was wondering what in the world happened. Turned out a 3 hour commute really does a number on your reading comprehension :p
