I have a first gen b16 and I am getting an oil change tomorrow.


I am torm between dyno juice and synthetic oil, give me your thoughts.....

 

if you dont wanna spend the 4 bux/qpt. some say castrol gtx works find with any motor.

i only use mobile one or amsoil

 

Syn, mobile 1 5 bucks a qt well spent. **** that dyno crap. Stay away from penzoil they are a wax based product read this http://www.knowyouroil.com/dyno.htm

 

I use mobil one on my 1st gen

 

alll I use in my first gen is mobile one full synthetic. That is what the guy who did my install told me to use so I did.
later

I've made up my mind, I'm going with AMS or mobil 1, whichever one the shop has that is changing the oil.

I was hesitant because I was under the assumption that once dyno juice was used synthetic oil was a bad idea, but I'm not buying into that.

Thanks for the replies

 

i run castrol syntec 10w30 in my 1st gen b16. runs like a champ!

 

mobil1 synthetic/castrol race oil...i run a mixture of oils,so far so good

 

If your engine was not brought up on sythetic than you might find yourself with some oil leaks by using it.

 

amsoil

 

mobil 1 your motor will like you

 

Can't go wrong with Royal Purple as long as you have the cash for it. If not Mobil 1 Synth is a little cheaper. I ran Castrol GTX for 1500 miles and then switched to Royal Purple and couldn't believe the difference good oil makes.

 

I burn too much oil to run the high $ stuff . I stick with the NAPA brand $1.50 a qt crap. When I rebuild again I'm going with Amsoil synthetic after the break-in. Suposedly stays good for 7,000 miles with thier oil filter.
I herd Royal Purple looses its "good qualities" after a 1000 miles or so.

 

im using valvoline synpower
