Psttttt..Spray it with purple stuff "degreaser" that will clean it quick.. just don't let it hit anything that has been powdercoated.. or you will---->>@%&*#%.

I run Amsoil,& use Napa Racing Filter's we do change it quiet frequently..so far so good.and after 2 season's of running hard & proper maintance.. i suppose any syn..oil will do. i run 2 10.71 littlefield blower's. not to say the engine's haven't let go. They have. but not from the oil.

How many here have ever had a engine failure related to oil composition or breakdown? Just curious.

Amsoil is the best !!!!

True that synthetics can agitate an already leaking engine but they do work better. I like Mobil 1 myself. It is the only oil that would keep my turbo bearing clean. Another interesting thing I learned. I tried Pro-Long engine treatment in my turbo car and noticed how much cleaner my oil return line was. I never was one for oil additives but I was pleasantly surprised by Pro-Long.

i have ran two trucks to over 300k with valvoline conventional oil with no problems so I just cant justify the extra expense but i do change my oil overy 3k miles and twice a summer on the boat.

CEN-PE-CO

Mobil 1 all the way.
Even the mower runs on it.

I'ved used it in my old Bronco II for 100K+ miles, the wifes old Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo for 110K+ miles, my current truck for 70K and the wifes new Mustang for 13K.
No trouble what so ever.
I even used Mobil Synthetic ATF in my truck when I changed the fluid last time. That was expensive. Fourteen quarts cost me 45-50 bucks.

Most everything I've seen on this subject revolves around how often you normally change your oil. Consensus of everything is if you change it on time conventional is just a good. If you're prone to going long on changes, then synthetic helps because it takes longer to break down. Other than that it's the "feel good factor".
Personally I use a blend in the engine (compromise okay?) and full-synthetic in the drive "only" because of it's tolerance to heat exceeds conventional drive oil before breakdown....If you want to feel good, spend away...

Amsoil of course :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
