Far as I know this oil is mineral. Does anyone know if there is a fully synthetic version?. How often recommend changing this oil?

Neither it says synthetic nor mineral oil. It could be semi synthetic because the changing interval usually between 60k to 80k. Whatever it is but I personally prefer to stick with 40k interval for peace of mind.

I believe you are correct that 3309 is not a full synthetic fluid. I am using it my 2004 Volvo because of the cost savings over purchasing the fluid from the dealer. A far as I can read it meets the specifications required by Volvo and other manufactures using certain configuration Aisin Warner automatic transmissions. The Volvo transmission does not have a recommended service interval other than severe use and that is 50,000 miles. I purchased this car used with 112,000 on the odometer and plan to change the fluid every 30,000 or so miles.

mineral oil works just fine and much cheaper. all these honing oils are basically the same thing and for some brands,all it is is mineral oil.

I do not use synthetic oil, only regular Castrol 5W-20W. I had no problems getting it out of my oil pan from the dipstick.

It's good for the specified motor oils in your owners manual, synthetic would be the more desirable of motor oils to use.

Better than North American synthetic blends? I don't know. I purchased it because it is factory fill for Porsche & Ferrari and I drive a Porsche Boxster. I paid more than you. If you can get it cheaper than other synthetics, I would buy it. Hope that helps. GNG

I've never heard about M1 ,,,,I know this Castrol is one of the best , they dont advertize it to much , cause doesn't need it . It is very good synthetic oil . I think will not disappoint anyone. if you choose to use it ,just make sure you respect the code according with your car tech book . Take care

This is a synthetic oil...... It's a perfect blend for my weed trimmer and my leaf blower. I would recommend this to anyone.

Don't tell anybody but this is some of the best machine oil ever made. As good as Sperm whale oil. It is also great for dry skin. It does a good job on your hair. Last and maybe least it is a laxative but according to what I've read overdoing it can have spectacular results. Please note that this product is not toxic but humans can't digest it and getting this or mineral oil into your lungs would be a bad idea. Some some organisms can digest it. This plant was cultivated for a while because people wanted to use it for biodiesel but its much to costly to grow for biodiesel. I use it on hair, skin, and machine parts.

I'm very fond on now foods brand. They have a vanilla oil with jojoba oil it's slthe real stuff. But it's not vanilla absolute. They mix it with a carrier oil. My homeopathic doctor visits their plant every year to see what's going on with the company and I trust her judgement on the quality of the company.

Go to the lawn mower section of home depot or similar and they'll have pump oil. Synthetic is ok.

............ lolwutit's GF-5 Fully Synthetic. In the U.S. it's considered a blend, in other place it's a synthetic, that's just how it is in the auto industry. Why are you looking into buying this oil anyways?

I always go by the manufacturer recommended interval, regardless of the oil quality (I always use synthetic). Good oil only serves me as a guarranty of longetivity of my engine. my vehicle has a "maintenance minder" that takes into account accumulated revs. rather than the distance; it usually goes on around every 5k miles. my vehicle is mostly used in the city. it is a 2008 Honda Ridgeline with 130,000 miles designed for conventional oil, I've never had to top my oil, and run as smooth as silk.

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.

If they were my cars, I would run Mobil 1 in all 3. There is no reason not to run the best oil made in any vehicle. From day 1, I run Mobil 1......break-in oil? Snake oil!!!!! The best is the best.

Hi Therese, I am no expert on this however the website i have included says that the magnesium oil is more pure than the flakes. It goes into alot of detail about the difference and when to use which one. http://www.ancient-minerals.com/blog-post/bath-flakes-vs-oil/
