There is no "best" oil. Just use whatever's currently working for you.

I ran Castrol GTX as well as Castrol Syntec and they both run practically the same.

I have always ran Castrol 10w40 (switched from 20w50). No problems. It's inexpensive to oil changes were/are frequent

will it be better to run thicker oil like 10w40 or10w30, if my oil get dark very quick. in a week or 2 the oil look like its been in there for months

Castrol or Mobile1 10w-30

this has been discussed at length

10w30 is pretty accepted as the best of both worlds

thicker oil is less prone to leaky seals but also slows spool up

too thin and it could sneak by your seals if they are questionable

InJ3cted

valvoline 10w40 or 30
