Oil

I know the oil cap say Mobile One full synthetic, but I was wondering if I could use Quaker State Ultimate Durability Q Horsepower full synthetic motor oil?

Is this really a question that needs to be posted? There is a lot of info on oil out there.

For what it's worth if someone can provide a series of tests where a certain oil dominates in every test then I'd be interested in seeing it. Some oils perform better....yes. But I'm betting the quaker state will work just fine. If you're worried then do some research on how certain oils your considering compare.

FWIW again I run Amsoil and notice almost no difference between it and the previous synthetic oil. Well besides my oil pressure going up.

Another vote for Mobil 1. Stick with what works. 4G63s seem to like it.

I always use Q power, seeing that we get it in 55 gal drums at work.
