I tend to agree. Stick to the recommended oils and you will be fine. I have read bad things about Royal Purple, so I avoid that brand, but Redline, Pennzoil Plat, Mobil 1. All good stuff. I ran Pennzoil Plat in my '09. Now I am using M1 0w-40 Euro. I saw lots of positive remarks and good UOAs for this oil.
