Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with dwnfdrknss, Doc seems to be pretty passionate about the whole subject and I too like that there is someone with such an extensive knowledge on the life blood of our cars.

factory oil is NOT the best you can get... all it has to do with is money. whoever can give the manufacturer the cheapest price for the type of oil they need, they will use that and recommend it for use by the owner

AMSOIL SSO 0W-30 if your bottom end has tight (stock) tolerances. If it has been loosened up slightly, AMO 10W-40

SSO is the toughest oil available in a 30 wgt...

+10000 on using AMSOIL

I first started using it on my motocross bikes for all the lubricants and will never use anything else.

It's difficult to get someone to understand when they are blindly forming an opinion and don't want to look at the Tests and Information brought forth by an AMSOIL Salesman who has spent over 35 years of their life on the subject. No Offense.

Secondly, 2 friends lost motors to RP as well as they were road tracked cars.
Very interesting, I have used RP oil in the past in NA vehicles. I am going to stay clear of that in my Turbo Vehicles (I typically use Redline). If its on sale at Autozone, I will run through it in mine and my wifes daily driver.

If you werent an Amsoil Salesman I would be all over your advice. Since you are then you are inherently tainted. Truly Independant analysis is the most important part of any decision requiring the interpretation of technical data.

I hope you can at least see that this is the case. The food you eat, the medicines you take, the cars you buy.......If the reviews were written by people on the company payroll then they are immediately suspect.
