ok so im going to b changing my oil again. i say again cuz this will b 4 changes in the motors 9,000 mile history i know im **** anyway right now im running 5W30 mobil1 and have heard great things bout the two above oils that im considering. please let me know what your runnin and what your experience has been with eihter oil. thanks

 

Both are great products

I switched to Amsoil from Mobil one.. and I was amazed at the difference. Honestly I wasn't expecting to really notice a difference in the engine running but I did. I used to have a mild case of piston slap, when using mobil one (90k miles on my engine).. after switching to amsoil I can no longer hear it unless my head is very close to the engine. I have been getting 2-3 more MPG on average than I ever did with Mobil one, and the engine seams to run smoother before and after it has warmed up.

The oil is never dirty when I drain it (7,500 miles), where mobil one was fithly after 3k miles.

Just my experiances.

 

thanks for the testimonial!!! what weight are u using?

 

10W30

FYI, if you do plan to go with amsoil, they have a prefered customers program where you can get the products at wholesale prices for a small yearly fee.

 

thanks for the FYI on that wholesale thing. anybody else got opinins?

 

nobody????

 

Castrol GTX

 

i will put in a vote for amsoil... their plant is in wixom.. about 15 min from my house. they seem like good people. i, however, use redline MTL in my trans.

 

you will like the 0-30w amsoil

series 2000 severe service.

good stuff man

 

u suggest the 0w30 series 2000 amsoil over regular amsoil synthetic 5w30?????? car has 9,000 miles

 

when the oil is dirty when u drain it, that means it's doing what it is supposed to be doing.

 

Really you want to drain the oil before it gets dirty. Personally I would rather change my oil too soon, than drain it after I have run for 500+ miles with dirty oil.

The detergents in oil, will clean the engine, but what is broken off should get caught in the oil filter. Oil becomes noticably dirty once it has gotten to the point where most of the particles are too small for the oil filter, or the oil filter can no longer hold particles.

so should i go w/ the 0w30 series 2000 or the regular 5w30 synthetic???

 

Not so.
really dirty oil mean your rings/seals are going bad.
There is no reason to change your oil 4 times
in a 9000 mile period.
This is not going to benifit anything.
High end sports car don't even recommend this.
Every 3000 should be fine for an aggressive driver.
As far as oil goes,
go with a nice synth oil at a resonable price.
I have 100+ miles on my teg with mobil 1.
Have had no problems yet.
Good luck
