Hi does anyone know what the best oil to use for VTEC engines i.e. Synthetic/Semi Synthetic and to what ratio 10/40 or 15/40 etc

Also what is the best type to use Castrol GTX Magnetec?

 

5w30 is what is recommened

 

if your doing a swap, but dont know what kinda oil to use, leave it up to the pros, royal purple is the best

 

Valvoline DuraBlend 20w50

 

i would have 2 agree with the royal purple 5w30. hands down the best

 

cheers guys! is it better to run racing oil or regular oil in the royal purple?

 

ummm royal purple 5w30, end of questions

 

Just use regular 5w30

 

ya regualr 5w30

p.s. synthetic blends are for fools.

i use full synthic in the winter (whatever is cheapest at walmart) and normal 5 30 in the summer

Yea that is real healthy on the motor.

 

i use 5w30 mobil 1...haven't tried royal purple but as you can see alot of people prefer it.

 

once u hit syn, you probably dont wanna switch back and forth....i can get royal for $6 so why not? you only have to fishout that money every 3 months.

hes talking about going from dino to syn, most say its unhealthy

 

I have over a hundred thousand miles, about half of it with 5 quart jugs of SuperTech 5/30 from WalMart! About 13.oo for a 5 quart jug, now that is pimp ****.

 

Don't want to burst anybody's bubble but there was a test done and it was posted on HT and Royal Purple did the worst out of all the full syntectics. Also its not the first time I read this.

I use 5w40 Motul. If I wouldn't use Motul I would use Amsoil which is the best but I can't get any around my area!

thats what i use. oil is pretty much oil. as long as its the right wieght, and ASPI certified or whatever its good enough as long as you change it regularly. supertech synthetic = $13 =
