I am thinking of putting Mobil 1 synthetic oil in my car. However, my car has 80,000 miles on it, and it has used regular oil the whole time. Will I be doing more harm than good by switching to synthetic with a car with that many miles on it??

You can, without damage. But the question is why would you want to?
Break the motor in with convential oils and switch to synthetics after that.<b>15.41</b> @ 89.80 & 15.45 @ <b>91.64</b>, 2.21 60ft, 3,440 raceweight, using <b>OEM</b> Equipment. <br />\'98 L67/M49 w/ 134,000 miles before spun bearing. \"<i>It\'s all stock, Baby</i>!\"Comment

Go for it, you should be fine. Especially now that Wal-Mart has the big daddy 5 quart jugs for only $18.88. Hit it up ;)<b>99\' Black Camaro SS</b> <br />M6/T-Tops - SLPLid w/K&N | Hurst Billet Plus w/ LSS | EGR Mod<p>Black 97\' Camaro T-Tops (RIP)Comment
