High milage oil in not so high milage car?

Hey, I just had my oil changed. I have a 2003 Kia Specta with 50k miles on it. The guy asked what kind of oil i wanted in it and gave me some options about synthetic mumbo jumbo... i said i wanted the one in the middle (30$)... I got the receipt and it said i bought the high milage synthetic oil, is that right for 50k?! will it hurt my car? THANKSHigh milage oil in not so high milage car?
high mileage synthetic is not the middle, that's the high end.


It will not hurt your car, only help it.


high mileage oil IS NOT thicker in viscocity, all it means is an oil stop leak additive is added to the oil. You do not have to have over 75,000 miles to use high mileage oil. Most of the time it's simply marketing.





Your kia will work fine with regular conventional oil, change it regularly AND the filter, don't cheap out on the filter, and you'll be fine.


Use synthetic if you want, the benefits are high, drawback is the price.


If you live in a really cold climate or really hot climate, synthetic is good for you, it flows in extreme cold and won't break down in extreme heat. It has more detergents in it so the engine will remain cleaner. You can stretch your oil change from 3500 miles with conventional up to 7500 with synthetic.

Fully synthetic and high millage oil is more viscous cause it last longer and does it's job longer then other oils, such as Lubricating, cleaning, and cooling your engine... So it's good for your engine and it works longer improves the life of your engine, it's necessary if you drive a lot and it won't hurt your engine at all, just makes it ride a little smoother...
No it won't hurt it. Use what your owner's manual recommends, not what the guy getting commision wants to sell you.
anymore today oil is oil....high mileage oil is not usually used until your vehicle hits seventy five thousand miles which is for some reason considered high mileage. pretty much any oil is safe for your car as long as it is for example 10w30 or 5w30 synthetic oils will not hurt it one bit.
thems mumbo jumbo bout how the long chain molecules unravel when they are worm, increasing viscosity. So the oil is thin when it is cold and thick when it is hot.





You want it to be thin when it is cold so that it is pumped fast into the joints. then thickens later when the engine is hot. There are two number, 10w30 is a ten weight when cold and a 30 weight when hot.





I understand that fixed weight oil lasts a long time. Use what ever the car maker recommends until is starts smoking or burning oil between changes then consider raising the numbers by 5.
it will be ok the high milage synthetic oil will not hurt anything if anything it will help. how long ago did you change the oil? if i was you i would get a can on eng restore that will help your motor alot more check there website out.

Doesn't hurt your car, really, but it's unnecessary.


All so called ';high mileage'; oil is, is a heavier visc0sity.
I am a former mechanic and I still run synthetic to this day. ESPECIALLY IN WINTER!. dry start ups are so hard on engines. Crude oils don't offer the protection man made emollients do.
