i used to run mobil 1 in my evo before i knew about amsoil. after 3k my mobil 1 always lost viscosity, looked like water running out of the oil pan. not to mention id loose a qt every 3k. switched to amsoil loose about a .25 a qt every 3k plus picked up 50 miles a tank. its a no brainer.

i like how people talk about amsoil like its so expensive. $8-10 a qt vs $5-7 a qt for mobil. stop being cheap. these r the same people spending thousands on mods.

 

Good to hear of your experience

 

Brad Penn

 

Personally my car never seemed to run as "smooth" as when it was on Brad Penn, but I ran AMSOil after BP, and it could be I got used to that feeling. I have heard from a reputable shop that they would see BP leaving a "film" on internals, but I don't have any data to back that up other than what I was told.

 

Is the film good thing? I would think so as leaving a coating on bearings and whatnot.

 

um.. yea.. the high end race oils.. ONLY

Get your facts right..

 

Brad Penn all the way. 1000+ hp on methanol and bearing always look great. Never had a oil pump failure.

 

I have never had a problem with .99 oil so $15 oil is out of the question. I split the difference at $6 and use Penn. Im sure you will be fine with any oil.

 

Another alternative is Valvoline VR1. I 've used them both

 

Uhhhhhhh what fact? My facts are just fine thanks

 

another oil debate smh!!

minus well throw my 2 cents in
Shell Rotella t6 5w-40

used various amsoils, used mobil, used royal purple and to me beat them all!
WHY?

my car runs smoother, less oil consumption then all above, $20-$30 tops a Gallon!, available anywhere, high zinc and phos levels, and proven(do a search)

 

You better start reading up on the oils before you open your mouth and say uh no all I will say.

 

Hince 11 dollars a qt if not more.

 

We need a little more info on your setup. OEM clearances, will you be running E85 etc.. ?

I'm running FP HTA Green with oil feed line left from the head and stock block/head. Also I have a dual map tune one for 93 octane and the other E85.

I prefer to use diesel oil. In my case I'm using Amsoil HDD 5w-30 . Here are a couple reasons why.

-ZDDP ~1400+ (Zinc & Phosphorus)
-Its offered in 5w-30 in my opinion best weight for OEM tolerance.
-Its tough enough for diesel fuel should be tough enough for E85 .
-Its synthetic and I change it every 5k miles using 93 octane.

I would suggest you consider diesel oil as well. Doesnt necessarily have to be Amsoil, but they have the weight and ZDDP I am looking for.

 

Yea also it would be prudent to ask in what weather or conditions the OP is using his Evo in.
