What is the best synthetic oil?

Z-Guy · 07-27-2010, 08:43 PM

Gosh Guys, I'm sorry I asked this question. I didn't want to start something negative. I have decided to go with the larger Purolator Pure One Filter # PL14610. I used nothing but Purolator Pure One's until GI Joes closed then I had a hard time finding them. I'm going to buy them from Amazon, they have a great track record with me.

As far as the oil goes, the 0W-30 synthetic from Castrol seems to have the best results. I just want to confirm it would be okay for the NW area here in Tacoma/Seattle. According to the results from another thread Red Line did horrible and Royal Purple was just okay.

Certain weights of Red Line are no good, this is true. I personally would never use Red Line 0W-30 or 5W-30. In 10W-40 form, and used for racing, it's good stuff.

You should be fine with both those. That is a good oil filter. I am bored and love to see how many people get pissed over stupid stuff like oil.
