yea man switch over, my lifters would tick on the ka24e after 3000km after an oil change, when i switched to synthetic i drove it to 5000+ no problem no noise or anything and it runs strong, my engine has 260000km on it, i did notice it burn oil a little more but i’d rather add oil every now and then than run shit oil
