I just read on the internet that crew chiefs in NASCAR and Formula 1 are scrambling to find a replacement oil for that sh1t Mobil 1 they're using. Apparently they heard about this in the370Z.com. The article went on to say that Amsoil appears to be the best replacement after reading further in this forum. Hey, go tell all your friends that you heard it here first!!!!

And Amsoil may very well be the best replacement...

Even though you're clearly joking, are you sure you want to open that can of worms?

Just because an oil is a factory fill does not mean it is a good oil. If you have the money and resources that ExxonMobil has, you can be the factory fill of any car manufacturer in the world. Its simply another way to push their product.

An overwhelmingly majority of the vehicles they supply oil for are high performance vehicles. What better way to market your product than to say your oil is used in the best engines of the world?

Out of all the UOA of mobil 1 I have seen. Their Euro 0w-40 is the only one I would use. Anyone running this grade presently in their 370?

feelzpwr91 · 03-05-2010, 12:02 AM

eff these oil threads im done and out.

There is usually a lot of good information on this website

bobtheoilguy.com

they analyze used oil, and through some good reading you can determine for yourself the best/worst brand(s) of syn oil.

NIZMOZ · 03-05-2010, 07:26 AM

Mobil 1 use to be good but they have changed their formulation so many times since then that it isn't that great anymore. Penzoil Plat and ultra are better than M1. And just because manufactures use it doesn't mean it's good. Just means they got a good deal on it that is all. BITOG UOA tests are good enough to show how good it is vs other oils and is proof. I stopped using M1 a while back and since now use Penzoil or Amsoil.

ianthegreat · 03-05-2010, 08:58 AM

the n54 engine comes with Castrol from the factory.. i switched to 0-40w soon after. currently, i'm testing out royal purples 5w-30, seems to be fine.. however, only an analysis will tell. little shearing, but that is to be expected from FI engines.

i would assume a similar 5w-30 would be great for the VQ.

j.arnaldo · 03-05-2010, 01:16 PM

You'll find some guys here swear by Amsoil, others by the Purple stuff, others by Pennzoil, etc. Truth of the matter is, it boils down to personal preferences and budgetary issues. Since the 90s I've been using Mobil 1, with excellent results. Keep doing your homework & arrive at your own conclusion, dude. Good luck!

As long as you change the oil within its specified range, I doubt you are going to see much of a difference over a 100k mile period. I think the key is to just change the oil regularly and not try to push the limits of said oil of your choice.

And it's just that simple!!! Noone has yet come in here and provided proof that an engine will fail by using a 'crap' motor oil.
