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 |

this is very timely topic since I just got my car. The PO did an oil change using 20w50 Castrol.
I'll be looking at my options going forward. Turk |
