What oil does everyone use?

[StealBlueSho]

I have used Mobile 1 Full Synthetic with Mobile 1 filter in all my cars since I got my first car. The 2010 SHO gets 5W-20 as recommended and I change it every 6 months or so. I barely put 2,500 miles a year on the SHO however they are generally very spirited miles if you will. :-)

With that sort of miles I would just do a yearly oil change

Yea, your probably right. Old habits...

Yah, well I just think that those high priced oils are overkill and how many times a day, a week, a month does every one go to the REDLINE. Anyhow I didn't get a HAT but I do get coupons from Pennzoil.  Has anyone tried the color test yet ??

At least once every time I get in my DD SHO... To keep it from learning to perform for my mother's tastes... LOL.

I for one beat the crap out of my SHO lol! It's my daily and with my ~20mi interstate round trip to work everyday usually sees 4 or 5 wot pulls up to 100-110mph on any given day, plus any quick stop light digs thru 1st & 2nd gear I may happen to stumble across in between. I realize probably changing my oil every 2500 miles is overkill but I chalk it up as preventative maintenance really haha

Spoken like a true granny.....yeah my daddys daddy did the color test when a v8 made 175 hp

Ive added 150 ftlbs of tq so the high priced synthetics are not overkill for me when i go 140 in my 4400lb sho....watch this

Good vid ... even if it's a commercial... Amsoil Sig and Penzoil Platinum are the 2 least volatile oils on the NOAC testing.   Also tried to explain LSPI to the wife who gets tired of me always giving enough throttle to get 1-2 gears down shift when accelerating... She doesn't get it. 

As far as cost, figuring $7-8K for a new 3.5GDI and install, you can buy 1000 qts of a high end oil (enough for 250,000 to 500,000 miles) and the cost difference is about equal to replacing the engine if you destroy it.

Maybe I'm wasting money... Don't think so... But if I have a catastrophic engine failure I won't feel like I set the stage for it.

I've ran the same combo on all my cars and haven't been disapointed yet. People talk a lot of smack about FRAM but they've been in the fliter business forever and i feel like that should count for something. Also, When u get mobil 1 don't pay $9/qt when u can get a 5 qt jug for 20-30 bucks at your local walmart
below are what i would purchase for the Xsport.







if it was a different car. the quantity of oil might change but that's about it i run these on my non-turbo lancer as well.  0w-30 covers most manufacturer recommended viscosities i think when mobil 1 first starting getting big and didn't have the 0w i used 5w. on my MS3

Ramen noodles have been in business forever but that doesn't mean it's good stuff....Maybe if you are talking about the fram tough guard or the gold canister...But the orange are economy grade poo poo..You get what you pay for..

[nickwalter4]

Lol u made it look like I said all that about noodles too. But no I don't get the basic orange ones. The one in the pic is pretty much the same as Bosch and synthetic Purolator filter. Also. My middle child loves ramen noodles.

I have a case of ramen noodles in the pantry that are reserved for the zombie apocalypse
