Default WHAT OIL!!!!!

Ive been considering Royal purple but at 7 bucks a quart IDK.

Seems like sludge protection is the new concern, So idk between Castrol , Valvoline , Moboil or Quaker state. My car has 105K miles should i use synthetic?


I dont want to be paying for a NAME if you know what i mean.

Yeah I recomend any full synthetic. People will nip pick on brands but for me as long as it is full sythetic. I use Mobil 1 5w-20. Some might say Mobil 1 isn't a true full sythetic but what's if off by?

I use mobil 1

Honestly if you change it out as often as you should you should be fine with basically any oil.

+1 . . . . so long as its a full synthetic. The differences in HP are so minor you cant tell. But going from good ol dinosaur oil to synthetic makes a big difference
