it has been discussed a million times.
i think best oil is amsoil,its about $9.95 a quart but it does its job.

I think he means weight and viscosity. I use 10w-40.

Leading Edge Lubricants 5W-30 synthetic motor oil

I put mobil 1 synthetic in before i boosted my car and it burned like hell. Switched back to castrol gtx and it doesnt burn any. dunno why though.

yea id also go with a 5w30

nickromeo

anybody run 5w40 synthetic that is used in german cars now?

also as i understood it that the wider range of viscosity the more polymers there is in the oil and those polymers are the same ones that cause sludge and deterioration in high heat of turbo engines?

does that theory apply to synthetics?

Amsoil synthetic performed much better in heat and pressure testing than other synthetics. The $9.95 AMsoil 2000 is their racing oil. Other Amsoils are around $6 - 7.

Wow, you mean Amsoil's own testing revealed that their oil is the best? Sorry to be a smartass, but I couldn't resist. There are plenty of good oils out there, and you can't make a statement that one brand of oil is the best. Do some research on bobistheoilguy.com to help you with your decision.

Good link.
As for Amsoil, something else they have stated is that they have never been sued for their claims. Mobil sued Castrol when they started selling their SynTec Full Synthetic which was nothing more then a refined oil made from Group III base oil. So imo, if Amsoil was really overstating their claims, then at least one of the big oil companies with their million dollar lawyers would have sued them by now.

I run Castrol Syntec European Formula (Made in Germany) 0w30. In reality, it's reallyheavy for a 30 weight oil. That with NAPA Gold (WIX) oil filter has kept my original motor running smooth.

I have had great results with Castrol GTX (more frequent changes) and Amsoil. Trying Red Line in Xsi-T's car

purpleh22

Amsoil testing was from results found in independent lab testing, not results that they paid for. The results showed that the Amsoil product was dramatically better, not just marginally better.

Good to question promotional claims though. Sorry I didn't elaborate earlier.

Castrol Rs 0w40 here.

Speed Infliction

well if you live down south and you winters are not to cold it looks like the mobil 1 is the best to use according to the charts. that is what is what i use also and no compaints here. mobil 1 10w-30 FTMFW

rsintegra

depends on where you live...I've used 10w30, 10w40 and now I'm using 5w30...5w30 works well for me.
