I use brad penn this is good oil!!!!

 

I use Canola because it makes my engine smell good.

Kidding aside, everyone is going to tell you something different and have their reasons for the pros & cons. When I did my picking I looked for something with good amounts of zinc & phosphorous because, from what I understand, it's supposed to be better for the turbo. Just my opinion, & I'm not claiming to be an expert. Good luck.

 

Do you have any data to back-up this claim?

Otherwise that post might as well say that you run bacon grease.

No data, no care.

 

Great read! I read most of it. I'll need to finish the bottom portion (after the rankings) to come to a conclusion from this article. Fascinating stuff!

 

Motul. It was the most expensive one I could find. Plus it gets a lot of screen time in Gran Turismo 6. There's your data.

 

I was feeling a little despondent. Now I know why. I needed another oil thread to read.

 

The reason you don't get good data is because no one takes the time to know about the chemical composition of the Oil's available out there. I mean which base stock group oil is being used, what are the comparo specs such as TBN, flash points in product A vs B.

About base stock they range in group 1-5 , 3 is mostly what you will buy at the store like Mobil, castrol ect....
Group 4 & 5 is an 100% synthetic, AMSOIL, Motul etc. ..

 

I run 10w 30 amsoil. Great stuff. Forced induction I will never use anything different then amsoil. Took the valve cover off the other day to put a new gasket on and the head was increadibly clean. Motor s running like a champ with 158k on her with great compression across the board On my e36 BMW m3 motor runnin syn Castrol, NA so no need for the amsoil now if and when I go supercharge I will switch to amsoil Not brain washed like u just super happy with the protection it provides our high boost motors

 

Nothing you wouldn't and folks haven't seen with syn's. So moot point here

 

All the proof I needed was in my built 560 HP srt4 with 15,000 miles, when we pulled it apart because a boomba tb bolt came off and sucked into my motor! The coated bearings looked brand new!!!

 

There are more than enough threads that go into detail as to what oil you should use.. Youre gonna hear either brad penn, amsoil z-rod (i personally use this) valvoline vr1, shell rotella, and a few others.. find whatever is easier to access and use it..

 

Ive recently been trying the Zrod, my motor does like it better than the previous oil I had in it. There maybe a few other factors as to why as well, it could possibly be that this oil is on the thicker side of 30wt compared to the other oil. But since I have no data, other than a good UOA, and actual video of idle comparison before and after, Im not gonna be promoting anything. Im happy with it and is doing what it needs to do though.

The "which oil is best?" topic on any forum seems to always be a hot topic. I guess the statement should now be said, "don't talk about religion, politics, or OIL."

There is no best, just a better option for your current needs. There is no best car. If I need to haul a 18k trailer, the best option is not a GTR. Who makes the best tool? Not even that is accurate, likely the best tool is also one you can have replaced quickly if it breaks. About the only certain thing I will say what is best-- the best woman-- big ***** and doesn't talk much.

 

i only use AMSoil

 

I give up.

 

lol.
