Motor Oil
I'm thinking about changing my oil from Castrol 10W40 to Mobil 1 15W50, but im not sure if that would be a good idea. I was told that Castrol cleans the engine a lot better, and that it has detergent in it, but on the other hand the Mobil 1 is made for turbo and super charge engines, and has a higher viscosity. I need some info from anyone that has any knowledge on this. I have a race this weekend, so anytime before then would be nice. Thanx in advance...

by the way, have you heard anything about evo 9 tuning over there? especially the mivec?
heard hks is already saying you want the evo 8 non mivec engine if you want power.

they're like mercedes of motor oils.
amsoil is good, but castrol synthex, i've not heard anything good from.
It's always been mobile 1 and amsoil... maybe valvoline...
Same oil, just different formula they use. Do a research on Amsoil, you'll find some very useful stuff online, not on this thread though.
I've learned a few good things while doing my research while back on amsoil.
I just wish I remembered it all.

FWIW, I'm using the HKS engine oil.

whatever.

my car lives on mobil 1 i tell everyone to use mobil, royal purple is good too. but i trust mobil 1 there is a reason why mitsu says to use that brand of oil, and for once the mitsu dealer is accually right...wierd! i accually use a lighter wieght than that.
