mobil-1

 

Sweet... my friend just told me that.. Ill try it out.

 

Save your $$$$$ run Castrol 5W-30

 

as long as you dont use pennzoil. redline is very thin and burns quicker too I heard. mobil1 would be my choice.

I agree....the synthetic is too thin. It may not allow the rings to seat properly. Use regular oil until about 2000 miles. Once you are confident the rings are okay, go with synthetic.
