which is better?

Eneos top oil for tuners?

royal purple for muscule?

Amsoil.

lol thanks. I was just curious.

It's all kind of in the eye of the beholder. I use Amsoil partially because they were the first to mass market synthetic, so I figure they know what they're doing. Also they are a local business and third, my wife works there.

o nice lol. yeah on d-sport and tuner shows they always sponsor eneos and on muscule car/truck shows they have royal purple so just wondered

I hear Royal Purple is over rated and not full synthetic.

Stop watching tuner shows; they market plastic wings, fart cannons, neon and other ricer bullshit.

Mobil 1 0w-40 is still the best oil on the market with the largest preventative additive package.

I bet Amsoil is close or just as good. They consider mobil 1 they're closest competitor. Mobil won't talk down Amsoil and vice versa. I sell Mobil and would sell Amsoil if I was allowed. But since my wife works there I can't. But they are very similar.

i didnt see any commercials for that shit lol. it was d-sport and all i seen was racing, drifting, drags, and build cars? but ik what ya mean. but like i said i was just curious.

i dont think 0w-40 would be good for -30 weather though

Why not? http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...l_1_0W-40.aspx

It's standard on BMW, Porches, and MB forced induction engines.

thought 0 weight was to light (or maybe 40 was to thick i dont remember) for that cold of conditions? idk i could be wrong. i was just wondering no need to freak if it works then i'll probabaly switch to it. though 5w or 10w-30 was good for cold.

**Lucifer** · #12 - February 8th, 2010, 02:46 PM

Not freaking, did you read the link?

"Mobil 1 0W-40 keeps engines starting in Arctic-extreme cold, and it cleans deposits, sludge and varnish often formed in high temperature operating conditions."

"Mobil 1 0W-40 provides the widest range of protection -- providing the extreme cold start protection of an 0W grade and the high temperature protection of an SAE 40 grade."

works great up here in the cold.

yamahafella · #14 - February 9th, 2010, 07:16 AM

damn sounds good to me. i was just miss informed, i'll probabaly be making the switch then haha, i was gonna be putting some sort of 0w40 in my 79 ranchero, but prob just put both vehicles on it. I havent looked but in a store lately but is there more than one type of mobil 1 0w-40?

Is it bad to switch from regular oil to synthetic or vice versa, or does it not really amtter?
