I don't think I've ever read that anyone uses it on one of these "Which Oil," threads (which should probably make me nervous), but I've been using Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and have no complaints.

mobil is trash as afar as I am concerned....i've been runing castrol 10w-40, and changing it every 2.5k

now that it's getting colder I need to switch to some 0w-40, which ima have to order since I cant pick up anything in 0w40 up here besides mobil...

royal purple or Amzoil is prolly what I'll run this winter....

Why do you say Mobil 1 is bad??? I have used that in my car since I got it (0W40) and have not had a single problem.

Amzoil or Redline oil, only the true synthetics ever touch my engines.
