Re: what oil do you run?

No I just plan on what I'm doing with car between oil changes. I usually drive my car in the severduty mode because I only work 5 mi. from my house. Barely gets the engine completely warmed up. I use this car as dd, auto-x, and some dragracing.

Heavier oil is not going to fix oil leaks.
I run mobil 1 10W30 in the TT 89 Mustang, mobil 1 5W30 in the supercharged 97 Mustang.

It damn sure did in my mitsu.

I had carbon buildup caked all over the ringlands, atleast 3mm of buildup on the piston tops and a shitload of buildup on the valves....... Ever since i switched gas to bp and oil to royal purple, my engine was clean as a whistle and didn't smoke again.

In the rotarzors$$$$!!!!!, idemitsu rotary spec oil. People looked at me funny when i filled up the other day and poured 2 stroke oil in my gas tank. Haha.

That reminds me, gotta start the bitch and let it warm up so i can move it.

rotella t 15w40...i didnt know there were any other kinds of oil? i run it in everything. both cars, both trucks, the jeepers creepers everything. ive seen to many engines with over 300k on them and have absolutely NO buildup at all in them. and it smells good!

gummy bears are awesome....
