Re: What Engine Oil To Use?
I have decided to go with LUCAS 20/50 full synthetic.
There is not much available in 20/50 weight in Aussie, except some motorbike oils, but I am hesitant to use motorbike oil due to additives for wet clutches etc that may not be suitable for cars? Guess I will find out in a few weeks if these EG33's are as good as you blokes reckon they are!!! |

Re: What Engine Oil To Use?
I've had good luck with Mobil but I don't do the sustained high-rpm stuff either... Mainly just drag racing for me. Also used Redline for some time (advanced auto parts carried it for a while) but now they don't and I don't feel like ordering online. I'd rather just go and pick it up. Currently the car is filled with 5w-40 Mobil 1.
3 of 4 motors I've destroyed have been filled with Amsoil, so I'm gonna stay off of that stuff for a while. The rest of their products I've been extremely happy with though. (ATF, 75-90 extreme pressure gear lube, engine flush) I've heard excellent things about Miller oils (from the u.k.) and nothing but good reviews about Motul, but again there's the cost to consider. Whatever you do, just don't use a Fram filter. hahahah

Re: What Engine Oil To Use?
Steve,
Reviving an old thread, but how'd you go with the oil? Do you run oil temp and pressure gauges? What did you see? Thanks, M |

Re: What Engine Oil To Use?
I've seen too many motors destroyed because they used Fram filters. A buddy of mine worked at an audi dealer and in 1 year they replaced 3 motors in different cars and they traced them all to the oil filter... Fram.
They filter really well, but the problem is that they filter TOO well and drop pressure. Now, on motors that run higher pressure like ours its not as huge of a deal, but when a motor is run hard it just starves the bearings for oil. I can think of a few other people who had similar experiences and ruined motors because of Fram filters. A buddy of mine went to school at a nationally known mechanic school (UTI) and even one of his instructors told the class that he was at Wal-Mart one time and had to get a filter. It was between Fram and WalMarts own brand, and he bought the WalMart filter. He told the class to avoid Fram filters at all costs.
