I use Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5w-30.
I use Mobil one and have used it in my last 2 cars. Used royal purple because i could get it cheaper through work but the price went up and started using mobil one lol. Royal purple did seem to break down really fast but no issues with mobil one thus far....
i use mobil fossil oil 5w30.
has anyone here tried that lucas racing oil? not the additive but the oil itself.Originally Posted by green91
I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.
honestly man i see so many cars come into work with 300k+ miles that still run like they are new, and havent ran synthetics, just regular fossil oil changes every 3-5k. even in my own vehicles i run regular old oil.
Castrol GTX is what I've run in other cars, I just feel that the extra wear and tear on oil caused by a turbo motor warrants a synthetic. Get your oil tested at blackstone and they'll tell you how long it should last, most synthetics will last upwards of 7K miles according to their analysis results.

you guys do realize the reason you change your oil isn't because the oil breaks down after 3-5k right? yes synthetics last longer. but the reason for oil changes is because of the carbon contamination due to the combustion process getting into the oil. hence why oil gets darker. synthetics and fossil oils alike suffer this same fate.. so those of you who run synthetics to extend your oil change intervals may actually be doing more harm than good.
Great point to mention that. If any of ya'll do decide to go longer between oil changes, make sure that royal purple isn't in your crank case. I personally think that it's highly overpriced. I found out that Shell Rotella has zinc in it and I was convinced that (well after my buddy ran it in his turbo car without any problems) it would do well in my vehicles. Shell Rotella 15w40 FTW
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
Go with the Rotella T 5w40 (as opposed to the normal Rotella). Its indestructable.Great point to mention that.

Yep, thats why I keep advocating getting your oil analyzed. Not only will it tell you what the actual viscosity of the oil is but it will also tell you the flash point as well as what trace metals or chemicals are in your oil. It costs $22.50 but is worth so much more than that.

10w40 Royal Purple synthetic.
I used to run 5w30 Mobil 1 synthetic, but didn't really like it as much.
