Engine oil???????

[Lurk]

I would think it best to stick with OEM Mobil 1. It is recommended in the manual..

I completely agree.

USE AMSOIL!!! But don't change your oil that often, you'll just waste your money. You can go 10-15 just fine. I can contest this in about 5k more miles when I get my oil analyzed and post the results. I also have it in all my driveline fluids.

You guys should consider talking to some people that are involved with motorsports and get their oil analyzed. I had this conversation with a friend from a shop a few weeks ago and not only is he saving me money but Im VERY confident that he is saving me wear on my motor as well.... Unless you speak to someone first hand who is truly unbiased, dont believe a single thing you hear or read about oil. When I use to help out some friends who raced ama we would send out oil and some of the most expensive stuff was really disappointing. Same with car oil. I was paying $7.50-$8.00qt for royal purple and although its not bad Ill now be paying about $6qt or less for better stuff.

What did your friend tell you that saves you money and wear on your engine?

I'm just gonna stick to Mobil 1 'cause that's what I've used for years.

How's the amsoil transmission fluid? I'm considering either the amsoil, or the syntorq stuff that milspec is selling.

Here's a writeup I wrote a while ago. Worth a read:

I consider it a great alternative to diaqueen. Feels about the same, but seems to stay consistent and cleaner for longer.


Looking back....I really need to update it. :?
