Question:
And how would my 1993 Suzuki Swift handle synthetic oil?
Answers:
Why car isn't starting?
There are advantages and disadvantages to synthetic. Synthetic oils have less wax in them than petroleum oils, so they will be more liquid/fluid like in cold temperatures. This allows for faster lubrication when starting the engine in very cold temperatures. There have been tests that prove some oils can increase performance and economy, but synthetic oil costs significantly more than petro oils, so you have to decide how you want to spend your money. Many synthetics deteriorate slower than petro oils, although they do not hold any particles/contaminants in suspension any better than petro oils, so that doesn't necessarily mean you can go longer between changes. As for your Suzuki, I would stick with conventional petro oils. Many synthetics have additive/detergent packages different than petro oils and can actually clean out deposits in older engines- deposits that may be plugging an unknown leak. Also, wear over time will cause increased clearances between engine parts and if the synthetic oil gets too thin between clearances, you can have inadequate lubrication in your engine. If I run synthetic in my cars, I start them off around 10-12K miles and haven't had any trouble, I just wouldn't (and don't) use them in an older car such as yours. Hope this helps.
Car keeps running out of oil?
Theres no point in putting synthetic oil in old cars cuz the oil is really thin( thin as in Light), for old cars, its best to put thick oil such as 10w-40.

Synthetic oil lasts longer between oil changes and handles extreme temperatures better. It's also much more expensive. I have a Ford Windstar with a 3.0 v6 that just turned 260,000 miles and I only used the cheapest oil I could get at each oil change ( usually Wolfs Head). I did change it every 3000 miles. Unless you are beating the hell out of your car, you probably don't need synthetic oil.
My car startes stuttering and shaking when I accelerate up to 80mph on the freeway, what's wrong?
it lubricates better so you get better gas mileage and you can go longer between oil changes, the disadvantage is it costs a lot more than regular oil.
