Dang! Where did the 26 page Great Oil Thread go?

simple, change oil brands. i went from 1 quart of mobil one every 300 miles, to adding no oil between oil changes with Agip synthetic.

 

agip synthetic, never heard of it, got a link toplaces i could get and some reviews on it

 

40050 miles, mobil 1, not one ounce burned. Oil is just about all the same. One person will swear that brand X will burn like crazy and brand Z wont and vice versa.

Oil is about as controversial as politics. Just use what works for you. Don't worry about what some other goof has to say.

 

yes it does, i use castrol systhenic now, it doesnt eat it as much

Ditto

 

what is this agip synthetic!

 

At first my car burned conventional valvoline oil like crazy, over a quart every oil change, but since putting castrol syntec 10w30 in it, my oil burning problems have stopped. Kinda weird, I thought switching to synthetic would make me burn more oil.

Mine burns Mobil 1 like mad. Some people say that having certain headers increases oil comsumption because of the extra heat they produce. I may try switching brands and see what happens.

most haven't heard of it. it's not very popular. everyone buys common brands like castrol and mobil. i have run it in my racecar for 4 years with ZERO problems. 1greyteg was sceptical, but once he tried it... fell in love. there are not a lot of distributors that sell it, i have to dig up my contact info. i did a google search, and came up empty handed. all well, just more for me....

 

Agip, is an Italian oil company, if I'm not mistaken. They make good oil. My mechanic (alfa Romeo specialist) can get it. Actually I saw a quart of Agip Super SINT in his shop last week.

they have distributors all over the usa, but i cannot find that sheet right now. i will continue to poke around (the wife moves everything... ) and will edit my post when i find out. </TD></TR></TABLE>

AGIP rocks!!! Almost as good as Honda gold!

 

i prefer Mobil 1 over Motul ...
The motor burn Motul while with Mobil 1 didnt have any problems

 

Which Motul do you use? I use Motul and it bruns less than mobil 1 but it is expensive!

 

Maybe the 10w-60 has something to do with the Agip not burning up as bad.

Do they make a 10w-30, and have you ever tried it?

 

Oh, and maybe a mod can change the title of this thread so that 'Mobil' is spelled correctly for search purposes, or this thread and the info in it will become useless.

 

Mine burns the hell out of Mobil 1 0w40, but the engine runs better than with any other oil I've tried so I keep running it.

 

go with motul synthetic oil. that is what all the spoon cars use. right now i am having the same oil burning probelm with the mobil 1. down about a qt. between oil changes. it did the smae thing with the castrol syntec also. i am going to use the motul or maybe redline.

what is the correlation between comparing usage of oil between a street car which doesnt get rebuilt every x races like a race car?

i'm betting little to none.

 

Mobil 1 = waste of money. I don't know how many cases I went through when I had the ring problem.

Marc ----&gt; who switched to Castrol GTX cause Dave-ROR said to.
