Amsoil 5w30, for what reason I don't know.

i put more miles on my turbo g2 then any hmt member that I am aware of in 2 years and i ran whatever was 10$ that week at walmart, usually pennzoil or something else like that.

I ran full synth mobil 1 in my bmw and it needs new pistons, i blame the oil.

So my scientific FIRST HAND analysis of oils is 2$/qt oil = 100k of turbo boost, 5$/qt synth = blow up your engine at 30psi. I will ask bob the oil guy to add this information to his site, and delete all irrelevant "lab faggot" testing.

been running quaker state 5w20 in the wrx, it warms up faster than synthetic does (adsorbs heat better i suppose) and my motor runs quieter over synthetic.  oil filter at oil change revealed LESS metal vs the previous synthetic filter change, too. 2.37/qt at the local store i get it from too   changed at 4500-5000mi intervals.  better mpg than synthetic

Heat = friction

royal purple is also good for finding leaks in a motor. if you have oil coming from somewhere but cant figure it out, run royal purple and it will start leaking 10x worse. i dont know why it does it, but it does.

All synthetic oils tend to leak/seep more, the molcules are smaller and therfore can fit through smaller holes, not to mention the solids that conventional oil carries that they don't filter out.

Yup. The euro stuff is not the same as the US manufactured stuff (due for one to the USA EPA standards I briefly outlined earlier)...


You get a cookie. For NOT being dumb... (No sarchasm at all... SRSLY)

 

Sarcasm or not, im taking the fucking cookie.

If I dont like the European knock off shit ill just go back to the diesel oil.

[ironcrx]

and the cookie yummy :yes:

Ive tried so many different oils, none seem to really feel different, or come out any different compared to others when changed.

However, I have noticed mobil 1 synthetic burns faster in my z6, so I no longer use it.

Diesel oil has reduced the ZDDP

BDV FTW. That article had me return 2 cases of Mobil 1. Im going to run Valvoline Durablend on the daily drivers, and RP on the Turbo civic.

No seriously I wasnt being an asshole... You Be right the EU manufactured shit is different. The SYNTH packages are different and in general more robust.

I tied the Mobile 1 without doing alot of research, just jumped on the M1 bandwagon. Glad I jujmped off

No one mentioned lucas thats all we run in the nova. Never had a problem

Heat = friction

actually friction = heat

[Conceptz-X]

Heat = friction

actually friction = heat

Same difference, you got the message

i like running lucas in slopped out engines and as assembly lube.  works good, high oil pressure, quiet motors, etc.

Sometimes I don't use the stuff unless I'm trying to limp some shit a few more miles.
