mobil 1

I use mobil 1 10-30W and K&N oil filter, used mobil one on my mercury after hearing good reviews and past due on the oil change sticker and the oil still looked very clean.

Mobil 1, We use Mobil's aviation version of the oil, in the Pipers and after switching from a non synthetic to the synthetic there is a noticeable difference in how much less wear there is with engine bearings when the engines are overhauled. If it exceeds aviation standards it exceeds automotive standards.

I use K&N HP-2010 filter as well
 






Q Torque Power 5W30. Seemed like the way to go. haha
 






I use Autolab oil. Canadian made by Tri-Leaf production and cheap. With a 25$ oil filter Wix 51714 Giganto. It do the job dont worry :P
 






I use Castrol 10-30 summer 5-30 winter. No synthetics mostly cuz its expensive and I really enjoy doing oil changes, Makes me feel more cleansed than the after wrenching shower :D Once I get my diesel it'll all be about the synthetics thou
 






Still using the regular oil, just tried the Motorcraft synthetic blend the last time, though.

Mostly highway mileage and I'm pretty religious about the oil changes. 3 months or 3,000 miles is more than just a rule here...;)
 












no one uses royal purple or are they
just for muscle cars?

I've used Mobil 1 5w30 and motorcraft filters since I got the truck in 2001 with 59k. Engine runs exactly the same now with 156k. That's why.

i know and it seems like all the places i have gone to get the oil
change use cheep oil them selfs i recently got the car and the shop gave it an oil change but i think i will be using royal purple aswell for my next oil change if not then mobile 1
 






I use Motorcraft synthetic blend, just buy the 5 gallon jugs from walmart and motorcraft filter. I will not use a Fram filter after cutting one open and see how it is made compared to motorcraft filters and will not use penzoil oil either afte the recomendation of my Grandfather who was a mechanic for 30+ years.
 






Mobil 1 in my motor and Amsoil in the rear axle. I use Purolator or Motorcraft filters, wouldn't use a Fram if it was given to me.
 






I've used Lucas Oil, Mobil 1, Red Line, Royal Purple, and Motorcraft in my Fords. All good oils. Synthetic formulas work great in these motors. I tend to favor K&N & Motorcraft filters (even on the Honda).
 






Casteroil in my dd, Royal Purple in my mustang
 






i use castrol 5w-30 high mileage and purolator filter
