What would be a good motor oil to use?
I was thinking of running either

quakerstate Horsepower
Royal Purple
Amsoil
Redline
Mobil 1

all in 5w30 or what weight is preffered

Thanks allot

 

I've used Amsoil before, and I thought it was well worth it. I use 5w30 in my higher compression N/A engine.

Torco, hand down. So many teams, even in highend Nascar and Powerade, run others decals, but use Torco oils: http://www.torcousa.com

 

i run torco in my bikes, its a wet clutch system and it see 12k everytime i ride it, and it shifts 10 times smoother, and my father ran competition eliminator c/econo dragster and was sponsered by pensoil but ran torco and he swears by it

 

Rocket Robert Martin could probably explain why if he still goes on here. there was a huge thread explaining it. i run motul 300v in my bike which sees 13,700rpms at least 40 times per ride but thats extra viscous wet clutch stuff and its 16 bucks a quart so, forget that.

I just went from Royal Purple to Torco after talking to this guy about it here on HT. I'm using their MTF also. I couldn't be happier

 

I ran Torco in one of my stock b16's and it made the rocker arms really really black. It was like sludgy. Is there a reason for it being like that? Is this a true street oil? My machinist told me it was a race oil and it had little/no detergents in it. Thanks allot....i will take bisi's word for but just need more info before spending that kinda money. For now, I am running Valvoline Non synthetic. It does its job until i hit 600-700 miles on my freshly built motor.

Did you read the label on the oil? The manufacturers arent secretive about which oils are meant for street and which are race only. Read the label.

 

Yes but it wasnt specific i was told it was a racing oil for street cars. I didnt know it turned the rockers black. With Torco oil what is the recommended change interval?

 

I am running Amsoil 5w 30 in my turbo ls/vtec stays clean. Doesn't burn off like mobil 1 does.

 

I've ran both Royal Purple and Redline with similar results. Both of them are good oils but my boss tends to get the huge 5 gallon Royal Purple containers most of the time.

 

amsoil or redline both are good
