which synthetic oil do you prefer??

kjay82 · 05-03-2010, 02:34 PM

Pepboys had a sale. 5 qts of Mobil 1 fully synthetic and a Mobil 1 oil filter for $30!!

They had it on sale so i went and cleaned out my local pepboys and bought 15 quarts of Mobil 1 fully synthetic 0w-30 and got 3 filters for about $100..

I asked around some speed shops and close car enthusiast friends told me Mobil 1 was awesome.

As for Ester oils, they mentioned that ester oils just lasts longer.
"If you don't plan on changing your oil very often, then get ester, but if you do it more frequent, you won't need it.."

Ester is so expensive at the same time.. so, no ester for me..

Mobil 1 all the way~

I noticed they were on sale too, autozone is running the same sale right now for the next few days.

I may try that sooner or later for sh*ts & giggles.

I noticed the local Walmart has a rollback price on 5qt jug of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 for $20 (regular price $23). I think I might pick up a a jug or two.

I used Pennzoil Platinum and Ultra with PureOne filters on my last car (2004 Maxima) and never had any problems... I have a 2010 G37xS sedan now... same engine as the 370, of course... I'll give Pennzoil Ultra a go when it's time for my 2nd oil change. Still have 2,000+ miles to go until my 1st. I'll have the dealer use their stuff, then switch over.

That's my current fill...

Viera · 05-04-2010, 10:13 AM

I'm currently running Red Line oil with PureOne oil filter.

LiquidZ · 05-04-2010, 11:17 AM

Amsoil.

Still not sure if I will go with the Signature Series 0W-30 or the normal full synthetic 5W-30 this time around.

Wix is my filter of choice, but I could also use a Purolator Pure1.

drivin blind · 05-04-2010, 01:25 PM

G.C. 0W-30. Worked well in both the WRX and STI. Use Super Tech filters. Always changed at 3000 mi.

j.arnaldo · 05-04-2010, 03:03 PM

Some auto manufacturers deliver their new vehicles with synth' oil. Weird.

blackflag · 05-04-2010, 03:10 PM

Valvoline synthetic, Pure One filter.

Philipp · 05-04-2010, 07:04 PM

Lol. Those oil threads!
Did anyone ever heard a drama story with someone using synthetic oil in the past (not refering to low oil issues due to engine comsuption, bad seals, too long oil change intervals or cheap filters!!!).
I'm using using Royal Purple right now, but use Mobil1, RedLine, Castrol Syntec, Amsoil etc... And NEVER had any kind of issues...

I use mobile 1 full sunthetic. You can't go wrong with a NASCAR sponsor.
