There's no sticking with any particular oil once you get it. You can always revert back without a problem.

[BoostedQuad4]

lol thats not true at all, and royal purple IMO is way overpriced, but so is almost everything else in america now days

[ndubz]

i've used royal purple since i've purchased my car, and i'm 65k miles in with no issues/problems at all. the car runs great, even at the higher mileage.

[FocusDude]

Ha I've never used pricey oil and at 105k the hamster's pulling better then ever.

If you change your oil at normal intervals, it doesn't matter what oil you use. Synthetic may get a few more miles but who wants to really push it when it only takes 30 minutes to do an oil change.

I use whatever is on sale.

[OMGz Turbo]

I always used mobil 1...thats all the neon has ever seen

[marshallpre1]

Normal Oil for Corolla- when it was still alive
Mobil 1 for SRT-4- Since it's on sale most of the time
Castrol Syntec/Edge for Supra w PureOne or Mobil 1 Oil filter

[Elliott18t]

castrol syntec ftw.. mobil 1 is crappy anymore, i noticed in my car..

[vdcoff]

when i bought my car i used mobil 1, but now i use royal purple...i may start using castrol syntec, my last oil change cost me 60 dollars and I change it myself, thats just buying the oil and filter :(

[TunedIS300]

yea royal purple coast me about 50ish wit oil and filter where i can get mobil 1 and a filter for a little under 35 bucks

I used royal purple for a while. I stopped when my block cracked. I thought it was just a BHG so I swapped the head gasket and you could tell it was still burning coolant. With the Royal purple you couldn't really tell there was coolant in the oil.

I used a metal HG and just figured it didn't seal right. So I changed it again for a felpro. This time used regular oil and when I drained it, it came out looking like chocolate milk.

Yeah that day sucked.

Lucky I am up to about 100 bucks an oil change now. Needs 8.5 qts

It seems like EDGE is a really good product. Apparently it is a Group IV oil like Mobil 1 EP (EDIT: This may not be true, EDGE may only be a Group III).

Castrol also has a $15 off mail in rebate for the Edge!

use to only use royal purple on my z, then switched to mobile 1 synthetic and been using that for the past couple years with no problem..purple is way over priced

[turboman808]

All the Porsche guys swear by Brad Penn oil. Seems to be reasonably priced. Not even sure if it's synthetic or not. But even all the engine builders I know swear by this stuff.

I have it in my porsche since my mechanic puts it in for me. Other cars are running Castrol synthetic since thats what I have always used. I might try Brad Penn but I never see it in the stores.

Pennzoil Platinum showed great resistance to fuel dilution and break down when used in MZR engines. This is all according to a OA. So as long as I own the ms3 it will get PP.

[russiankid]

I use Mobile 1 with 170k on the clock...no issues.
