Okay I did a search on oils that people run and my search was less than helpful. I always get the same thing. Brad penn oil... I know that this is good oil and many run this but I would like to know what everyone runs.
So please state the engine your running and what oil you're running. Thanks, Thomas |

Valvoline straight 40W pure dino oil. What do you think the Germans were using 40 years ago? My car has never run better and cooler in hotter temps.

Valvoline straight 40W pure dino oil. What do you think the Germans were using 40 years ago? My car has never run better and cooler in hotter temps. 40 years ago oil had different ingredients. Look at the API rating. If your 40W has SM in the rating, that's bad. Things have changed quite a bit just in recent years. No big deal to the newer cars - kind of like Ethanol is no big to new cars - but is definitely harder on our old beasts. Just because it doesn't make your car run bad and hot, doesn't mean it's the best oil for your engine. |
