cool, how do you look at that. is the higher the ranking score the better?

also, i'm about to get a box of mobil1 synthetic, just wondering how long can i store them for? i still got about 2000 miles to go before i hit 3,000 miles on my regular oil. can i just switch to synthetic oil right now before i hit 3,000 miles. i really want to get the synthetic oil in. lol

do you recommend doing it? would changing oil to early mess up anything?

no, but changing your oil too much could be bad.

cool thanks guys, i always changed my oil since i got my car between 3,000-4,000 miles. but i did my last oil change kind of early around 2,500 miles, n the summer because school was going to start soon and i wouldn't have much time to do the oil change so i decided to change the oil a little bit early. i'm going to pick up some synthetic oil later on and working it next weekend.

besides i'm replacing regular oil with synthtic so it would help the enigne even if i had to do it early. lol
