My car's done about 140k km and has always been on whatever conventional oil the garage had on the shelf. Now I'm hearing that synthetic is better for the heat here, but I've also heard horror stories about switching on an older engine and it developing leaks or burning oil. I was reading https://royalprinceautocare.com/blogs/how-oil-change-improves-vehicle-performance-uae/ trying to work out whether the benefits are worth the risk on a car that's already got some miles on it. Anyone made the switch on a high mileage car and regretted it, or was it fine? And does synthetic actually justify the price difference for a car that's only doing short city drives?
