Which engine oil do you like the best?
I'm just curious as to what people think. If you want you could leave a testimonial too for other people.
Also what do you guys think about pre-mixing 2 cycle oil( burns clean) into gas to help lubricate parts?

I see no reason to premix a 4 stroke piston engine.... there are reasons to do it on RX-7s (is that where you got this idea from?) but I can't see any good reason to do it on our cars...
As far as favorite oil... I'm still on the fence. I know Redline and Amsoil are both good products.

Right on spot, Brian.
I used to own 89 T2 and a 89 GTU. Thought it might help out with the piston engines too with all the extra moving parts in them.
I think premixing Royal Purple might be good in piston engines because they leave a thin film that'll protect cynlinder walls.(Also from RX-7 experience) That 'll help the piston rings seal better and last longer.
What do you think?

I don't know for sure... it MIGHT help a little... but really the rings on our motors will last a long time anyway. Also the rings are already lubricated from the bottom... I'm not convinced that they really need it honestly...

I really doubt the difference between mobil synthetic and NEO is so big where u could actually comment on the differences. maybe you could comment on the diferent viscosities, but vouching for the brands is somewhat ridiculous.
