what kind of oil.

jtjohn · 06-20-2007, 07:27 PM

Getting ready for my first oil change, what kind of oil does everyone use?

bleedingbuddies · 06-20-2007, 07:40 PM

valvoline all the way. I know alot of mechanics that swear by it.

Mobil1 synthetic 5W/30 is all I'll ever use.

**blavis** · 06-20-2007, 08:05 PM

Any reputable brand name will do. I personally use castrol syntec 5w30 with a wix filter.

Pennzoil or Quaker State, just make sure you use 5W-30.

10W30 in cold weather.

20W50 in warm weather.

You are going to get every opinion under the sun. Just make sure you use a high quality oil in the correct viscosity and change it often, you will be fine. Personnally, I use Mobil 1 5w-30.

Peanut oil seams to fry the best!

Ditto. You will hear it all with a question like that. I too use Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic

I'm waiting for the - "you'll get the most horsepower if you use <insert brand> oil and you change it every <insert mileage amount>, and a <insert brand> oil filter, I know cause I always can beat <insert brand truck> when I race them and my buddy can't and he just uses regular oil" - type response.

Really the best thing to do is use Pennzoil 10w-30 syn. and cook it on a stove for 20 min. on med heat add 3 tablespoons of baby powder. Then cool down fast in the icebox. Put in a plastic bag and let sit on top of your TV for 3 days to soak up tele rays. Then mix in 7 drops of holy water and pray for 15min. And finally make sure to taste and make sure it will slide between your teeth (if you have no teeth ask the neighbor for help). After this process this should add about .0065 more HP.

You're supposed to use HIGH heat. Be sure to stand close, to witness chemistry in action.

You're obviously a rookie. Everyone knows high heat only works if you're wearing bunny rabbit slippers and a wife beater undershirt with black socks.

I know this for sure cuz my friend always beats me when he heats his oil in black socks but when he uses white socks I destroy him by like 1/16th truck length.

Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 and a Nissan filter.
