RE: BEST OIL?????
whatever happened to people using good old fashioned canola oil. burns slow and has a nice smell at optimal temps.
i haven't used any oil yet, the car is at 4k miles and at 7k i'm supposed to go to the dealership for a "semi-syn" blend. oh well, it's free and it can't DESTROY my car.....RIGHT GUYS?

RE: BEST OIL?????
Gentlemen and Ladies,
Can you use any oil in your car if you have a supercharger? I run full synthetic in all my vehicles. but, I am about to do my first oil change on my new mustang and wanted to see if I can use Full Synthetic. Because once you go synthetic your not suppose to go back. Oh, and I have used Valvoline Full Synthetic and now I use Castrol Syntec (full synthetic). Both have been awesome. I even used Valvoline full synthetic in a 2003 Yamaha R6 and that has a 15 and a 1/2 thousand redline and never had a problem.

RE: BEST OIL?????
Redline is the best oil right now on our weight 5w-20. Royal purple doesn't pass the latest SM-4 guidelines for oil. The top 3 oils are Redline, amsoil and Torco. The best mainstream oil is mobil1. This has been beaten to death.

RE: BEST OIL?????
Can't go wrong with Redline, That is what I run, i dont really care about price when im buying sythentic either so not a big deal. If an oil change cost me 50-60 bucks I really don't care as long as this preventative maintenance keeps my car running forever.... Redline > Mobil 1 but either would work.
