Default What do you use? Motor Oil Poll.

Update: I tried to add Royal Purple as a choice in the poll but it won't let me so if you do you use it and are a satisfied customer please make a post for a vote for it. Thank you.

Looking to see what motor oil people are using and how they like it.

1. Not looking for what you think is the best, I just whant to know what you have and are using in your k20a2.

2. What do people know about Redline Oil and Royal Purple?

3. Looking for info on burn off and average life.

4. Please post any Oils that I missed.

P.S. If you are going to say "search" I did and didn't really have the itch to look through 394 threads.

Default Mobil 1 ?

Mobil 1 seems to be the popular choice but I have heard alot about the K-series burning it off quickly? Myth, Fact or some people have a bad batch of motors?
