I can believe this hasn't been discussed ad nauseum, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. Time to change oil. Any suggestions as to which oil to use?

For long time, I always use Castrol stuff....I guess I cant get away from these bean oil..Castrol R....gotta sniff these stuff for yourself someday...especially when stand behind the real 4 cammers....
I tend to use the petroleum based oil like Castrol till the engine breaks in then switch over to Amsoil synthetics... Old engines, yes, the synthetics will find it's way out but if you have replaced all seals which is pretty easy to do with TIV, then switch to synthetics, I pretty much never ran into leaking problems...that's if the sealing job are done right.... check the Amsoil website....real good stuff...been there first before any of these mega big oil corps and they're having hard time matching the Amsoil.... j |
