I've been using regular Castrol 5W-30. Oil usage has been minimal. I used synthetic Castrol for Expo2004. No oil burnage there either.

5w 30 Castrol GTX here. Bbasso can be a witness to how much oil I didn't burn on track or at all for that matter the entire run to and from Expo 4(just over 1,000 miles).

Re: (Justin Klemgold)

Currently on Mobil1, but not very happy with it. I've been wanting to try Amsoil, however I'm not sure if it can be mixed with other oils. As in if I was to drain my Mobil and pour in the Amsoil, and decide to go back to Mobil drain the Amsoil and pour in Mobil without having to flush anything.

<- Not making much sense at 8:30AM on Friday.
