what kind of oil does everyone here use?

anyone heard anything about that castrol gtx startup, is it legit?
or castrol endurance or high milage.


i did a search-nothing.

 

Castrol Syntec

 

royal purple, the only i know of that actually gives you horsepower.

 

what about quaker state 5w-30 in the summer and 10w-30 in the winter

 

Why Castrol Syntec ????

 

I've tried royal purple, doesn't really feel diff from catrol syntec...well since we're on oil wat kinda oil filters do u use too, some stupid ******* at baxter sold me a WIX one, he said "its what nascar uses" is this true, i've always used fram

 

castrol high mileage 20-50 or valvoline max life 20-50. whatever's on sale. don't for get the k&n oil filter(2004)

 

oil is oil. It's your choice to use either synthetic or non-synthetic. I use either Castro or Mobil 1. Honda's oils are by Mobil by the way.

 

what i use on my vehicles..

accord 94lx gets either mobil1 5w-30/10w-30 or valvoline 5w-30
civic 01 5w-20 mobil1 all year around
prelude 92 si 10w-30 mobile1

basically i stick with mobile1 or valvoline and it never gave me problems so why bother switching? ive used only stp filters and fram if a stp is not available.

 

k&n oil filter in mine

 

Castrol Syntec 10w30 and Fram tough guard filter. Every 3-5k. Syntec stays clean longer in my car so....

 

Mobil1 5W-30 with Honda filter...year round.

i use honda filter, used fram for about 2 oil changes and it wasnt good, i use just reg castrol oil for now...gon switch to mobil 1 later...does anyone kno if getting a name brand aftermarket filter such as apexi, mobil1, etc. is worth it? cuz those shyt is like almost 20 bucks compared to my 6 dollar honda filter which is doin just fine

 

o yea, how do i switch from conventional to synthetic? do i just pour it in after drainign the old oil...or do i have to flush it or sumthing?? i kno this sounds really stupid and newbie but...**** u, tell me...haha

It doesn't give you anything but protection from siezing your engine. Don't buy into their hype.

You couldn't be more wrong with that statement. Castrol syntec, unless it's the kind manufactered in Germany (look on the back), isn't even a true synthetic. The only true synthetic you will find at Wal Mart is Mobil 1.

lol. I was just going to say that. anyways, there is no need to switch in the summer or winter for a regular car.

I know the castrol isnt really synthetic, but I had always thought the Valvolone was a true synthetic?? Penzoil synthetic? QUakerstate synthetic? hmmm

Anyone use the NEW mobil one syn "15,000 mile guarantee" I dont think its smart to use oil that long no matter what, but it did raise the price a bit

sohc

No, no and .....no....Do you see any of those oils on the shelves at Wal Mart? Yes. Are any of those oils Mobil 1? No. So they are not true synthetics.

 

I haven't tried the new Mobil1 oils. I think I pay enough for regular Mobil1, so I'll stick with that.
