engine oils

[6III]

Hey guys, just curious what kind of oil u guys use in your cars?

 

[lefty]

motul power 15-50 atm.

going back to castrol gtx3, 15-40, since i have like 4L in my garage and that it was always used im my car before i bought it. Plus its cheaper.

 

[vsthis]

Motul here too! love the stuff

 

[WRCVR4]

Motul 8100xges here

 

[bazeng]

acdelco 15-40 mineral oil
lol

just for running in though =)

ill be using motul chrono 300v when its all run in...

 

[dedant]

penrite synthetic 5
thin when cold a bit thicker than mobil 1, motul @ operating temp

 

[djcharliek]

using Redline 15w-50 at the moment. Will go back to using Castrol 10w-60 or Caltex 15w 50. Redline hurts the hip pocket the hardest

penrite semi synthetic, im not keen to run syn in an 18yr old car ... just me io suppose, but its never missed a beat on the oil i use

 

[GVR40]

castrol formula r 10w/60, i get it cheap tho, if i didn't i would use somethin else

Mobil Super S 10w40 at the moment, with Proma MBL8 additive to shut those damn lifters up :lol:

Also use either Valvoline XLD Premium or Fuchs Super Titan either 10w40 or 15w40. All fully synthetic.

I find the viscosities is the factor over the synth vs semi synth debate. Running a slightly thicker fully synthetic oil on an older car is fine in my opinion.

My freshly rebuilt forged engine is using Castrol FormulaR 0w30.
I get a very nice discount through work if I buy castrol. 8)

Previously using Motul turbolight which I had to either drive to sydney or have it sent up from PhillcomRally.
