iamjack · Postby **iamjack** » October 18th, 2007, 7:13 pm

hey there
its that time again for an oil change
for my last oil change i used castrol synthetic
should i continue with this brand or is there something better i should try?
im almost at 70,000miles in mileage
if that helps with the decision?

Not sure of the Castrol, but the Shell Ultra in the grey bottle is good IMHO

the shell is what i was told to use by my mechanic anil ramdeen...think he said the castrol does burn out too fast in the 4g92s

So Mobile 1 for the 4g92 is good for oil change out? What body of oil though?

*KRONIK* · Postby ***KRONIK*** » November 5th, 2010, 8:17 am

after all is said and done..
ive used MOBIL1, castrol syntec,

the best oil ive used on my CK is the same oil diamond motors uses: SHELL
the blue bottle works wonders...
