Oil has been "tossed" around here a whole bunch!

There are true believers in Dino and Synthetic and then in which one is the best.

Me? Redline for years and years. Mobil 1 in my Cycle. Tufoil (www.tufoil.com) in both.

Been using Redline in my Ol' BMW "tweaked" out for 130k miles. Used 26 sets of tires over it's total of 262k miles of life. Been using "Tufoil" since the machinist built my engine in the BMW. He was correct, thing jus purrs.

152k on my GMC, Redline since 3k, Tufoil since the BMW engine.

I won't do without synthetic, nor without Tufoil. But, there are people out there with very happy results with Dino oil.

Your choice. You won't know if it was the right choice for years, if ever.

just make sure to stay with 5W (or 0w) - as recommended by Ford due to "Zero" clearance engine
