Time to decide on which oil to run this year
 
Well it's about time to change the oil and haven't really decided which one to use.
I broke the motor in on the Merc. stuff but can't make a decision on what to change to.
Motor is a N/A 540 , solid roller cam, low compression, max rpm 5800.

Man just for got the best engine oil AMSOIL series 2000 ,,but if your not going to run it REDLINE is next Hands down ,,,,syn. all the way ;) :D :D

I agree with Bobby, go with the synthetic. I have been running Amsoil 10W40. No reason to run the heavy stuff on a mild motor in my opinion.

oil
 
I have only seen valvoline VR1 Racing oil in SAE 50W not in multi weight

Well,
I've decided on the Amsoil 2000 series 20w-50.

You should use a good synthetic. I like Mobile one it has never let me down

Good choice on the Amsoil..Where can I ge the straight 40W from Royal Purple anyway ??? around us you have a perfromance car shop selling it.??? no discount if you buy in bulk..

Hey 26...I too choose to go with Amsoil...but you may want to research the 20-50 idea...I am sure it will work but they make a Marine application 15-40 that they say has moisture treatment in it and makes for a better marine oil...at least this is" what" they say. Just an FYI

I was on thier site and must have missed the 15w-50, I would have went that route. Next time.
Thanks for the heads up.
