[QUOTE="Crazy_Eddy, post: 624092, member: 167"] I believe you can switch to synthetic after your run-in period. Most car manuals specify how many kms that would be. You shouldn't switch too soon, since you need the higher friction that normal oil provides to properly run-in your engine. A few also say that its not really worth shifting to synthetic in economic terms, since it lasts only perhaps twice as long and costs five times as much. You're probably better off just using regular oil and replacing it often enough. Wheel alignment , not too sure - but I guess each time you get your wheels rotated ? Your brake pads are designed to start squealing as an indicator that they're wearing out. When that happens, get it checked/replaced. Nitrogen molecules are larger than most other molecules in air, so they don't permeate through the rubber as easily. You will still need to check air pressure, though not as often as before. There are other claims about better fuel economy and better ride quality, but I have no idea how far that's true. [/QUOTE]
