oil, seems everyone is shying away from Mobil 1 - going to Valvoline, Castrol, or Amsoil...

I wish they had the 15w-50 mobil 1 here in the market again, but sadly, only 0w-40 is available (v.bad for me).

Next oil change, i am going for Shell 15w-50. It is the only 15w-50 grade available in the market, here anyway.

Back on topic......

So, I have been using Mobile 1 for years. I thought that there was no change other than the packaging and name on the full synthetic stuff. Now I am totally confused. Has someone actually identified what is different and if the "new" Mobile 1 synthetic does not lubricate as well as the "old"? My car uses at most a 1/2 quart between oil changes (every 3K, overkill for some I know) and that is with many, many hard autox runs. Or is this only a concern for you boosted guys?

Has anyone tried royal purple? i was going to switch over to 20W-50 next change, but i'm not sure what brand to use. anything anyone swears by?

I remember a site a long time ago (something like jesus.com, but it is gone now) where Christ went used car shopping and he was looking at a 944. I have those pics somewhere, I need to dig them up.

I never buy 91

For some reason beyond my current level of education, I believe that syntethic tends leak more. I don't know if it's due to the age of some of the gaskets or the viscosity it self. But what do I know.

back to oil. I'll revise this Monday of next week and report back about the DE at Memphis (with pics I hope) about the catch can.

how on earth does that work? unless.......you're running standalone and you tuned it out to run on lower octane. i know (a friend of a friend) this tuner who has a Turbo-Rotary powered truck making like, 400hp on 87, because rotaries are crazy like that. oh...to live in a world of spirographs.
