-Kerosene
-German Castrol

anyone??? please help me...thx...

 

Use 5w30 of your choice.

wtf?

 

Has this motor been running full synthetic prior to you changing the oil?

How many miles are on the motor?

It isnt a good idea to start using full synthetic if your motor is used to drinking standard motor oil. People will (should) tell you, that this could be a nightmare, all of the sludge that is "helping" the motor could be eaten away by the synthetic oil. This could cause leaks both internally and externally.

Full synthetic should only be used if,

A) New car, only a couple hundred miles
B) Has been using full synthetic when you got the car/motor.
C) Head/block has been machined/rebuilt, therefore being "new".

If your car falls under one of those 3 circumstances, then go ahead and use Royal Purple.

 

X2.

 

i say 5w30 and keep an eye on it, if its burning oil stop useing full synthetic, and either go to a blend or just normall oil.

if it helps my friend runs 5w30 mobile 1 full synthetic in his b16 and its just fine.

 

I ran 5w30 mobile 1 full syntec from 20k to 100k and had no probems.

 

using synthetic oil in my b16, previous owner did too and i burn no oil, even if i haul *** in 5th gear vtakzsz for a while

 

A South Jersey person would ask that question, haha.

I kid I kid. Buy whatever is on sale at advanced auto and run that bitch,5w 30 10w 40, Doesnt matter. It isnt gonna make a lick of difference. Unless you have been running synthetic oil previously. Advanced auto always has castrol oil on sale and i put it in my C5 motor, Change it every 5k, No issues.

 

hey, well the engine is swap so the seller told me that the engine have around 100,000 miles,,,,,so i shouldn't us Full synthetic then...right? so purple royal 5w 30 in my si?

 

use any oil,5w30 or 10w30. castrol makes descent oil.

 

i use castrol gts 5w30. in my cars. synthetic?? why pay extra money?
