Hey just wondering what kind of oil all you bbk owners running with your bbks?

 

The BBK isn't picky with oil like a n FP. Run a name-brand synthetic and you will be good to go. I have been using Mobil 1 5w-30 Extended performance for as long as I've had my car!

 

I use Amsoil

 

I started off with the AMSoil AMO 10W40 at the very first oil change when my BBK Full was installed, which has worked just fine with no issues for the last couple of years, but I recently switched to the new AMSoil 10W30 Z-Rod to run something thinner for winter, and I couldn't be happier. I never really expected to notice/see much of a difference, but the 30 weight smoothed out my oil pressure readings, and the car just runs smoother in general. And I might just be imagining things, but the Full really does seem to spool slightly faster, with even better transient response with the 30 weight. I wish I had switched to a 10W30 much sooner, but I just never got around to pulling the trigger on the Dominator for mostly daily driving duty. So thanks to AMSOIL for coming out with the Z-Rod!

 

i have used the AMSoil 10w30 until they released the ZRod 10w30. i have not had any issue to date.

 

Thanks for all the input guys..my bbk full is gonna be going on soon..just waiting on some parts to come in

 

Not a coincidence that you are seeing better response and pressures, thicker oils will slow the motor down that is just simple physics,

 

Chad told me he uses Amsoil Premium Protection 10w40 on his car, so I switched to that.

 

Started out with Mobil 1 when I bought the BBK, and have been on Amsoil shortly after I bought it. Currently running Z-Rod 10W-30.
