Who uses what oil??
Should startup a new thread on what oil is used the most by current members.
I just ordered 2 cases of Brad Penn 1 20/50 racing oil on sale now for $59. for a case of 12.
Would be interesting to see who runs what oil in their engines.

Do a quick search here on oil . It has been an ongoing topic of conversation for ever at OSO . Lots of GREAT information if you look . By the way , it's Amsoil Dominator or Mobil 1 V-Twin superoil's for my marine engine .

I have tried researching oil multiple times, but so much of the data is "opinion" or biased. Testing is done by the manufacture, or someone paid off or advertised somewhere for this or that.
Again, great read, and prob the most informative that I have read in a while.

Interesting read! But I am still confused just like before!

All I can say is that until you build and tear down your own engines and document the wear you find, is the only proof that I go by. People talk out there a** and have no real experience with engines at all.
I ran a car in a demo derby that had hole in the oil pan during the first heat and it went through two more full heats. I used Mobile1 in that engine. No oil and no oil pressure. The tranny died but the the engine still was running fine when my car was disabled because of the tranny failure not because of the engine and no oil pressure. The engine temp gauge was pegged but it was still running.
I still use Mobile1 in my truck and my cars today. But I use the high mileage version because it is a better oil formulation than the other types Mobil1 offers.
