Re: Engine Oil

Hmm..read this whole thread and it seems people are using Amsoil and M1 either the 10w30 or the 10w40. Good read by the way. I have a few questions though;

(1) Does it matter which oil (amsoil, m1, pennzoil, valvoline...all synthetic of coarse) I use for the mods I have and will it effect performance?
(2) I was told not to really change from (x brand) to (x brand) because of the different "ingrediants" they use for each oil...is this true? Is that why when a few of us change to different oils, there's suddenly an issue?

In my personal experience, I've been using M1 10w30 since I got the car. I've literally changed the oil RIGHT under the 3000 mile mark every time with the NAPA gold oil filters. My head currently has a leaky valve, so I'm guessing that is why the car loves to eat 1-1.5 quarts every 1500 miles. Haven't had any issues with the engine though. Head still looks pretty spotless. I will post pictures of the head soon once I get to work.
