Wanted to change the oil from Mobil 1 to see a difference and went with the new Platinum Pennzoil 5w-30. I really cant see any difference but this oil has been race proven and meets or exceeds high performance standards set by Porsche, Viper, Corvette, Prowler, BMW.

 

Hopefully that new line of Penz is better than what I used that one time. Tried it just for a change, and it didn't live up to expectations. Back to Castrol Syn for me...

 

I use anything on sale. if they are fully synthetic. I can't tell the difference.

 

you must be ****ing kidding me. Use only mobil one. but hey it's your evo

 

ya pennzoil platinum works fine. i dont think hes kidding u...theres not goin to be a fully synthetic oil that you pour in and your cars engine blows. FOR THE MOST PART sysnthetic oil is oil

 

I can't wait for the royal purple guys to chime in.

 

Are you guys sure your using a fully synthetic oil? do you all know that a group 3 oil (non-synthetic base oil) can be advertise as fully synthetic?

 

Hahahaha! Actually...I don't think this guy's joking. That stuff can barely be classified as a synthetic. They only have it on the cap of the car because mobil made a deal with Mitsu--not because they are the "proper" oil for that engine. Learn about oil before you chime in with a remark like that.

 

Red Line 10w30 is the only oil you wanna use for ur EVO! Just my 0.02

 

 

Except for Royal Purple and Redline, all the oil mentioned so far are group 3 which are not synthetic base oil. I feel bad for your evos.

 

If I were to use anything other than Mobil1 in my IX it would be the AMSoil

 

+1.

 

Here's how the oils holds up in my car from worst to best.
Penz Platnium, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Eneos.

 

haha that sucks for everyone changing up their oils etc, I bought my evo in so cal and I get free oil changes every 3500 miles for LIFE!

but have fun dabbling in all that other nonsense, its mobil 1 FTMFW!!!!
