Can it be used with synthetic motor oil?

It can. I have used it changing the oil in my C230. I used Mobile1 and it worked fine. My only concern using the product is that it did take time to get all of the oil out. About 20 min.

Product will work with any oil. I used it on my synthetic oil. It will work with any fluid as long as it is not really thick. I had issues with the first one I purchased maintaining suction, it worked but I had to constantly pump. The company was very good about replacing it for a new one. Haven't had to change the oil since I got the new unit, so I can'ts speak to how it does.

yes, it will work fine with synthetic fluids. Do not use this extractor for fuels.

Yes I believe so. I used a cedar oil product. I talked to the manufacture and was told as long as the product was like a water consistency it would work fine he told me if it was thick like motor oil it would not work

No, it cannot. This stuff is like Dexron-VI ATF.You want 75w90 gear oil, probably GL4 or GL5. Something like this:Mag 1 62378 75W-90 Full Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 6)orMobil 1 104361 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 QuartIt cannot be used for 75w90 diffs, but some diffs do call for Dexron-type ATF. This can be used in those, but not your application.

I don't really know but don't see why it wouldn't. It may make the oil thinner is the only thing I can see happening.

This oil can be used for multiple purposes. Great for diesel, recreational vehicles, lawnmower, etc... wouldn't put it in something under warranty unless meets spec. May void it even though it probably exceeds the manufacturer. The Internet can steer you in the right direction and come to your own conclusion. For me 05 Ford 6.0 powerstroke diesel 150K still stronger than ever.

I got mine to use as the transmission cooler and it does great. Don't know if that would be good for engine oil as it is a thicker consistancy.

All synthetic oil is better than conventional oils and all synthetic oils can be mixed with conventional oils and vice versa. Don't let anyone tell you different. I ran synthetic in my lawn mower from day one.

To the best of my knowledge this is made specifically for Diesel engines.That is why I picked it and what I use it on. There are other synthetics out there for other uses.

This is from the Honda website: Honda engines are developed, tested and certified with petroleum based motor oils as a lubricant. Synthetic oils may be used; however, any motor oil used in our engines must meet all oil requirements as stated in the owner's manual. In addition, recommended oil change intervals must be followed. I do plan on using Synthetic oil but not for my first engine run and break in period. I'll use petroleum based motor oil then switch to Synthetic oil on the next oil change and probably do it quickly, such as after about 10hrs of run time.

Yes this product can be used for Diesel engines . It can used for either motor oil or transmission oil

Can be used on any 4 stroke non gas/oil mix engine. API SG or SL oil is oil made for engine after 1993. All synthetic oils you find now these days are made at this rating. I would say it's safe.

You will want to purchase a high-quality 5W-30 or synthetic 0W-30, 4-cycle motor oil

it would be fine without qualification for everything except for anything that has a high rpm, like the shafts for mower attachments etc. For high rpm applications you need to check with the manufacturer (online is easy) to make sure this stuff is good enough. Here is a hard thing too, you do not want to mix a natural based product with a synthetic based product in those high rpm places so make note of what the mfgr. says they squirted in there. hope this helped.

No As far as I know it is only for oil in gasoline engines. I have tried it in diesel oil and it doesn't work. Further research shows that there is a product for diesel engines, transmission oil, and coolant

I don't know. You need to check the manufacturer specifications for what they require in the transmission and see if this product matches those specifications. I do know that the Motorcraft transmission oil is far superior to this, and much more costly. You should compare the two.

If you are asking if you can use this Rotella synthetic oil in place of the standard oil mentioned, I would say yes. Check your owners manual to make sure. If you vehicle is under warranty, be careful about what oil you put in it. You do not want to void a warranty by putting the wrong oil in it.
