Engine Oil discussions fo lyfe!

:facepalm:

:iagree:

Yes, we need another oil discussion fueled by a bunch of conjecture and meaningless UOA results.

Really, unless you're running a built engine or building your own engine to specific specs, it doesn't matter. Any oil labeled as "synthetic" is more than good enough for street use.

And **** AMSOIL. Bunch of marketing ********. Laboratory oil "wear" tests are so skewed that any manufacturer that relies on them for marketing ought to be immediately discredited in any enthusiast's mind.

That said, I still haven't decided what synthetic to run in the Z once we hit 4000 miles. *shrugs* It's between Pennzoil Ultra (just want to try it out), Red Line, or just plain old Mobil 1.

are people in chicago confused?

Kill me now.

By the way, which cold air intake do you guys think is best?

And I resent the Chicago comment...

:drama:

Have you guys seen the clear 370 yet?

:vuvuzela:

I only use gulf oil.

I hear that vegetable oil is also good.

With sea turtle additives, right?

I grab seagulls and twist the oil out of them, like a wet rag.

There's an unlimited supply of free oil in your local Walmart parking lot. You just need to suck it up..

Wal-mart shoppers can only afford non-ester oil. :bowrofl:

Why do you feel they are meaningless?

Just RTFM and follow the book. And there is no poll, unless it was deleted. IBTL!

DAAAH daaah duuuuuhhhh

Not sure where you did your "in depth internet research", but there are tons of threads on oil topic. Most oil threads starts off nice but they all end up with "my oil is better than yours" posts. Just go with whatever makes you happy. (and don't forget to use our custom search for more "in depth" results)

They are NOT meaningless but if you try to read other peoples oil analysis, that's meaningless. Everyone has been trying to tell you this in "oil nerds" thread. Get your own oil analysis and follow it.
