Yeah I only use Valvoline VR1 20w50, haven't complained, built motor.

 

M1 0w-40 is one of the few oils thats Porsche and BMW approved. Its good stuff! You can get it at Walmart cheap. Amsoil is a great oil too but you pay for it.

 

Ya at $22 for a 5 quart jug at walmart, is a nice deal. I have never been a Mobil 1 fan, but I admit this is good oil. I like the fact that I can drive down the street and pick it up as well. There have been some folks that sent UOAs of this stuff and posted it on my oil analysis thread, along with mulitple UOAS on the internet. specs out pretty good for our evos. Its Porsche,BMW, and Benz approved for AMG and SLS.

 

Not this again haha

 

Your opinion based on ZERO facts is like saying there is no truth no absolutes... go and test different oils in different engines, work with this on a daily basis to get some experience and then come here and share. But for now all you have to share is feelings and opinions and these will get you no where facts will teach you.

Saying there is no best oil is foolish.. Let me put it this way and tip the community. . Whichever company is using a group 4 or 5 oil has the best oil whoever is using a group 3 or 2 does not. ..

 

No what my exp is based on are years and years of automotive exp on many platforms, countless 2 wheel, 4 wheel, snowmobile exp, as well as farm machinery, add to that generations of family mechanics, Seen and driven countless cars well over 200k with UOA's coming back flawless

Real world, not whats in that lil brochure that came in your packet when you became a dealer

 

thats what I use works great.Amsoil 10/40

 

...I know it may be bad to say, but I do find it entertaining when you two go at it. Sometimes this forum can be a bit slow, but you two always make it lively.

 

This. Every time I see an oil thread I think "oh boy, how long before the next episode of oil drama?"

Have you guys ever tried to find a common ground to agree on?

I've used Amsoil ever since getting my Evo and will continue to do so as long as the UOA I have done keep coming back looking good. That said, I have no doubts that there are other oils out there that are also perfectly suited for our cars.

 

well I ordered amsoil 10w-40...worked great on my old sr20...countless misshifts and races...the thing lasted years even after I sold it...hope it does as good on the evo...
