which synthetic oil do you prefer??

Trips · 05-06-2010, 10:21 AM

Ok, I'll play! Red line here.

I've personally used both Royal Purple and Amsoil. I strongly believe that Amsoil is the best oil money can buy.

i use straight up Slick 50 :-O

I've been using Castrol Syntec 5w-30 for my Z the last two oil changes, UOA results look good so far. I switched to Castrol Syntec 0w-30 "German Castrol" on this last one, hopefully it's as good if not better than the last.

Got hooked up with Motul 300v by a forum member, just waiting to get my GTM oil cooler order processed.

Kastley85891 · 05-09-2010, 09:35 PM

ENEOS 0W 50 and a MOBIL1 filter

Trips · 05-09-2010, 09:39 PM

Red Line seems to work well!

JimZ · 05-17-2010, 11:27 AM

I use Red Line 5W-30 and K&N with filter magnet and magnetic drain plug.

allenhhp · 05-19-2010, 04:48 AM

about to get my first oil change
thinking about mobile 1 EP 10w30 with mobile 1 filter.

Z eliminator · 05-19-2010, 06:58 AM

I did my 2nd oil change and I used Castrol edge with the napa gold oil filter.
I have noticed that the oil temps cool down faster than with the Nissan ester oil.

It is an interesting read. But as they said in the conclusion it isn't 100% conclusive, the test they used is only 1 piece of the puzzle. Look forward to reading more about further tests they come up with.

I wonder if the Red Line 10W40 would've performed better than the one tested...

Impressive results for Royal Purple 10W40...
