thanks peps mobil it is....

CD4Accord · Postby **CD4Accord** » May 4th, 2010, 2:19 pm

Mobil is always a consistently good choice.. Just hunt around for prices because I have seen it vary a lot...

Get the Mobil1 Extended Performance 10w-30 if you can find it.. even better than regular M1

Yeah I use Mobil 1 Delvac in my Frontier and no problems.
But I think that any of the major synthetic oils will work good. They tend to have small differences in them but nothing you would notice in a average car.

archangel2011 · Postby **archangel2011** » May 6th, 2010, 9:23 am

all those oils are good.was using mobil 1 and changed oil to royal purple 15w-40 yesterday in a wingroad and the engine runs "way quieter".seem to have more acceleration also. :fadein:

Placebo effect = Because you changed something your mind makes you think its faster

They do it in drug testing.. Give half the candidates the drug, give half sugar pills..
They dont tel either which they have cause of placebo effect

To the OP...man.....use whatever you like and fits your budget. The differences between them are minor for the average vehicle (the MR20 is hardly a performance engine). Most folks buy into synthetic marketing w/o even understanding whether they need to go that far for their engine.

There's little way anyone can really know which is better for their INDIVIDUAL CASE, 'cuz no one is doing a lab analysis on the used oil from your engine after the fact.

As for me, I use castrol in both cars. :lol:

castrol dude!!! even Fast and Furious movies dus use it!!! 20w-50 ftw

stinger1 · Postby **stinger1** » May 11th, 2010, 6:45 am

royal purple. which other oil can guarantee increase torque and horsepower. if u hearing any noises , tappets for example, that will be gone with royal purple. also if you guys using viscosity such as 10w30 in trinidad, that means you dont want to push your engine,cause 10w30 would offer no protection at the high temperature. 20w50 and you can rev all you want.

CD4Accord · Postby **CD4Accord** » May 11th, 2010, 1:26 pm

Fast and furious actually uses Castrol EDGE, which we dont have in trinidad yet (as far as I know)....

Anyway, Iron Man 2 uses Royal Purple so we should all base our purchases on fictional characters...

STEUPS

PS. Bought some more Total Quartz 9000 yesterday... still $207 for 4 litres.... Note, litres and not quarts... When you get a litre its 6% more than a qt...
Therefore 4L = 4 and a quarter quarts...

Also, the total Quartz TV add rules, 908 HDi FAP is one of the sexiest machines ever built..

I've used mobil one for years and recently changed to a slightly heavier Amsoil grade, 20W50. The mobil one is excellent, but if you do not have very tight clearances may burn off a bit and have to be checked OFTEN.
