what do you guys reccomend running? eveyone has there favorite but whats some good brands to choose between?

thanks, phill

 

look on your oil cap bud lol. mobil 1 full synthetic ftw

 

no **** bro . i know what kind but i mean what brand and synthetic or not.

bump

 

Someone didnt pay attention to what section they posted in
The 2.2l oil cap does not say "mobil 1" on it

I would say amsoil or mobil 1

 

i use castrol GTX sludge protection FTW!!

 

I use gravel.

 

keep the brands coming lol.

so far castrol gtx, mobil 1, amsoil

 

I like royal purple, temp needle at operating temp drops with it in, and engine feels like it runs smoother...it's not as easy to find though.

 

penzoil plat...often tempted by royal purple....but it nearly doubles the cost of a change.... lol

 

Mobil 1 5W30 fully synthetic....nothing else has ever been put in my motor. Changed out every 5K miles.

 

I agree with most everyone, Mobil 1 fully synthetic is the best for the money.

I would also recommend Royal Purple and Amsoil if you don't mind spending the extra money though, that's the best stuff under the sun right before Mobil 1.

 

...My friends 03 2.2 eco cavy does

 

I use what came in my car from the dealer, but since its an SS, its Mobile 1 Synthetic, and I change it at 5000 whether the oil life monitor says it needs it or not.

 

royal purple.

 

I Run Royal Purple Full Race Oil.
my last oil change i did i had 15,000KMS on the oil and it strill drained with a purple color.
royal purple is purple oil lol.

 

i use valvoline synthetic cause that's the only stuff they serve at my oil change place. they stopped selling mobil1 just a week before i needed a change, otherwise i would have gotten another round of mobil. oh well. =[

 

dude, its not that big of a deal. any name brand synthetic will suffice. if you really want to double the cost of an oil change, use amsoil or RP. just buy some oil and do a change. your not gonna notice a diffrence between the name brands i can tell you taht much right now.

 

amsoil 100% Synthetic > Mobile 1 Full Synthetic

i sell valvoline synpower all day and compared to mobile 1 it's good **** but they ain't got **** on amsoil. i tried royal purple and i'd rather spend the money on either of the cheaper brands. but if you want the best go with the 0w-30 100% Amsoil Synthetic. i'm on their 5w-30 now and i'm switching in about 3.5k to that 0w. i'm only riding 7k on my oil cause i drive this bitch like i stole it, and that's everyday the rubber's warm enough.

 

alright i hear alot of mobil 1. and if its that much cheaper than the others why the hell not! sounds like im gonna get mobil 1

 

royal purple...the only way to go

 

Royal Purple FTW, went from mobile 1 synth. tried out RP and noticed better throttle response; just felt like the motor was more free. Def try it out.

 

well we'll see.

 

distilled water is the best. I have had a 40 hp gain mustang dyno proven.

 

..........cool man

 

yea try the Royal Purple you wont be disapointed, a few years ago when they were just new on the market they came to a car show up here and they did a test, mobile 1 vs Royal Purple and did this grinding test of a rod and rod barring, and man oh man it was crazy on how much wear the modil 1 had compared to the RP
