The guy who is doing my b16 swap for me is trying to sell me on Motul oil. Its like $40 for 5quarts so its expensive (Mobil 1 5quarts $22). Has anyone used this oil and have any take on it. I use the car as a daily so the oil gets changed pretty frequently so if its not worth the extra cash i wont do it. thanks in advance

mobile one is good enough or u can try royal purple.

mobil 1 fine. unless your going turbo? if so, castrol is an good option too.

marecco

so everyone pretty much feels that its not worth the extra $20 per oil change? is there any issues taht could occur if i were to go from Motul to Mobil 1 next oil change or vice versa

I don't know about Mobil 1 but with Royal Purple you don't need to change your oil as frequently so that cuts down on the cost.

yeah but i feel the need to change my oil every 3k miles no matter what just peace of mind i guess you would say

Then don't even bother with Mobil 1, and stick with a quality conventional oil instead.

seriously, i've always used Castrol GTX. not just oil, liquid engineering.

i have used mobil one and royal purple and did not notice a difference. i think its personal prefrence.

marecco

yeah i know that mobil 1 or quakerstate or any other major synthetic brand are personal preference but im just trying to find out why Motul is 20 more for 5 quarts than the normal synthetics

dont not pay extra for boutique oils unless you need it for racing.

buy an over the counter synthetic or conventional oil for your street car.

on my daily drivers i use unocal 76 synthetic blend oil dor $2/quart.

Mobile 1 here. Might use royal purple in the next car.
