i recently chnged oil in my car, but i was feelin a little cazy, so instead of buying the same old valvoline, i got quaker state. i know i broke my family tradition, but i alway wanted to try it.

so i was wonder what kind you guys buy? and i dont want to hear from you redline oil, or royal purple guys. i want to hear from people that dont want to pay over a couple bucks a quart of oil like me.

thanks

Mobil One flows in my vehicles.......Quaker has better stats than most conventional oils, but if you do not change it on time..........BUILD UP CITY!!!!!!

You need to try Synthetic oils once.......When you do, you will not look back at the DINO JUICE!!!!!!

Changing to a high priced synthetic in a high miles car is a waste of money. You are better off using a good grade of oil and changing it and the filter every 3/4 months.

I use Mobil 1 15W-50 in my built motor, why, its great, its synthetic which has better wear prevention and break down characteristics, also, if the manufacturers ship their flagship cars with Mobil one, thats good enough for me.
I know the Vette and Vipers, Porches and others ship with it in their crankcases. If the builders use it, I do too, and I use an AC Delco filter

I use Mobil 1 in all 4 of my cars. Period. Been using it for over a decade, and have never looked back. If I were to go dino, go Penzoil.

Mobil1 0W40 in the winter and 5W30 in the spring and fall and 10W30 in the summer.

M1. It rules.

Synthetic oil doesn't "break down" like conventional crude type oils, and usually doesn't contain the "paraphen wax" that causes build up in the lifter valley etc..
I usually use Pennzoil, a wax free oil, in either synthetic or conventional is better...I prefer full synthetic.

I use quaker state peak performance, for the dino oil nothings better, I pulled my 305 apart for a rebuild and there was almost no build up. Now that I rebuilt the 305 I`m gonna switch to mobil 1

I change my oil every 3000km or every 2 months

I have and always will use castrol gtx 20w50 . Nothing the oil touches has ever broken or even made a noise in my 189k miles 84 camaro. Its in the 97 z28 too and my fiance's beater 84 t/a

If you go to syth. then you have to watch for leaks. Syths are thiner oil & can leak really bad. If you are running a stock engine & no rebuild or reseal stay away until you do.


My car is going to go syths after I reseal her up hopefully this winter but right now we use Havoline 3 10w30

I don't understand how 5W30 Synth can be different in viscosity than 5W30 mineral. I have switched cars from regular to synthetic and never had a leak. I suspect that the synthetic oils clean out some of the sludge that keeps the oil in the pan.
