    Are we trying to start a mineral vs synthetic discussion here?

    If someone is having the money and want that 'added' protection and smoothness.. Why not synthetic?

    And the comment - Someone has replaced the synthetic with mineral is completely ridiculous. A person using synthetic will come to know within 5 min run whether he has got synthetic or mineral.
    Whats the guarantee that the mineral bottle does not contain cooking oil then.. The user cant make that out for sure.

    Also synthetics are used where there are weather constraints, luckily our country do not come under those requirements.

    Some guys will buy a Sony, some guys will buy an Akai. Its not Akai is bad.. It solves the purpose. But an Akai buyer should not force his buy on others.. So should be done by a Sony buyer.
    Chillax buddy, no one here is forcing anything on anyone...

    About the discussion, no one is having a war either... we are just stating facts here. Also, yes as i have mentioned synthetics have better stamina than mineral but there is a point before you drain where you need to top up the oil... this is what iam stating.

    Whats the point in owning a sony if it requires regular tuning of parts, iam well off with Akai cz i know it wont last that long and wouldnt be costly too...

    Stay tension free, replace every 2000-2500kms and dont keep thinking what if there is no oil left in the engine. Thats all buddy

    No war here.
