Engine Oil

[Khadgar]

When I switched to mobile one I had a leak for about a month or so until QPR replaced my clutch, I guess they also put in a new drain plug, I'm not sure what seals they replaced that might have fixed it but anyways. Now im at 120k with no leaks. :bounce:

If you are looking for a cheap oil, use SuperTech from Walmart, it is $.84/qt and is nothing more than rebottled Penzoil, which is better than Napa (rebottled Valvoline).

Here is a little more synthetic oil info for you people:

Castrol's new Syntec has superior protection properties over Mobil 1, but does not last as long. If you change your oil every 5k miles or sooner, you'll see no benefit to using Mobil 1, but if you stretch it to 10k or so I would use the Mobil 1. Not a bad idea to change the filter at 5k if you plan on running 10k or more between oil changes. Synthetic oil actually protects your engine better once it is slighty used (~3k miles)...in other words, more engine wear occurs when the oil is fresh out of the bottle. Color is no indicator to the oil's condition so just becuase it is black or a very dark brown does not mean it is worn out.

I have used Royal Purple on all my cars/trucks since 1996. Before that I used Valvoline exclusively. I believe it is the best you can buy! I watched (in person) a bearing load test and Royal Purple won hands down above: Mobil 1, Redline, Valvoline, Amsoil, Castrol, etc.


Royal Purple has very good protection qualities straight from the bottle, but get even 1000 miles on it and it is far inferior than just about anything out there. Real tests have proven time and time again that that stuff is nothing more than hype in a bottle.

Why are people still trying to argue? Ams oil is the devil. My father was involved in a class action lawsuit against them a while back. The company which my father works for had switched to AMSOIL for all their machines and robots. Everyone wore right the F-out. AMSOIL is still paying for them even now. I guess that's why their "oil" is so much money. Don't get me started on Quacker State (yeah that's how i spelled it). Bee's wax doesn't belong in you car. Rotella T or Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec...take your pick.

Anything produced in Superior, WI is the devil....guess where the Amsoil factory/HQ is? If you are just looking for a cheap oil for a DD or car that isn't pushed too hard, Chevron Supreme and/or Motorcraft are pretty tough to beat.
