what oil and filter do you use?

[Stimmel1647545512]

so what oil do you use and what filter and why?

 

discuss

[nurkvinny]

Depends on car.

 

DD = whatever Advance has for their 17.99 oil+filter deal.

 

Because I don't believe ANY oil breaks down before the 3000 interval I change mine at.

[Mr. Jones]

All the Audi's get either M1 0w40 or Amsoil Euro 5w40.

Filters are always OEM.

You use fram filters on that thing? You are brave..

[mjrsplat]

Oh and royal purple 5w30 and any filter that doesn't have a cardboard bypass stopper, so basically anything but fram.

[Ramsey]

fox m1 5/30 and m1 filter

 

sub havent done it yet, but will prolly just use used fry oil from mcdonalds and a never change the filter.

[Nickey4271647545519]

S10 gets RP 5-30 or EDGE 5-30 with a wix filter (NAPA Gold, carquest blue are both wix filters).

 

Mazda Gets 5-40 or 10-40 pennzoil or rotella-t with either a wix filter or purolator gold.

 

04 Impala SS gets Mobil Synthetic (forget the weight) and wix or a mobil filter.

 

68 C10 gets Lubriplate GPO (absolutely awesome conventional oil) 15-40 with a wix filter

[Tractor]

All cars get walmart or advance oil and filter every 3000miles.

[unfunnyryan]

Mobil 1 synthetic, different grades depending on summer/winter.

 

Whatever filter I can find that fits. Fram doesn't do my car so no shitness there.

[Rally Pat]

NAPA Gold on pretty much everything. Oil is usually Castrol GTX.

[SpaceGhost]

Subaru filter, and I am testing Shell Rotella T6 in the wife's WRX to see if I am going to use it.

 

Subaru filter because they have pretty specific bypass valve specs.

[6 Speed S4]

7 quarts of either Castrol 5w-30 full synthetic or Mobil1 0w-40 full synthetic

 

OEM filter or M1 filter.

[AJ]

Oh and royal purple 5w30 and any filter that doesn't have a cardboard bypass stopper, so basically anything but fram.

 

you use royal purple in that thing? you are brave..

 

 

M1 or amsoil for the TBSS and CTS-V with ACDelco, M1 or NAPA gold filters.

 

amsoil for the camaro with ACDelco, M1 or NAPA gold filters.

[iwashmycar]

M1 0W40 Euro Formula / OEM filter element.

 

I think I used a M1 filter element once on one of those get 5qts+filter deals

[macpyro2]

M1 0w40/ M1 filter religiously.

[Fubar231]

castrol green full synthetic 5-30 and a napa gold wix made filter

[Alex L.]

Amsoil oil and filter.

[Draco-REX]

Legacy (DD): Synth or Synth-blend, whichever deal I can get the filter I want with. The filter is a Purolator PureONE PL14610. Larger filter surface area lowers the bypass pressure requirement. This car had a hard life before I got it, so I'm keeping it in good oil, but I'm running the changes out to 4500.

 

WRX: High mileage 5W-30 in the winter when I'm not racing. Conventional or High Mileage 10W-40 in the summer when I'm racing. I don't care about the expensive stuff because I change the oil after every other race. Filter is also a PL14610.

 

STI: This one gets babied. Castrol Edge 5W-30 and a PL14610. Though I'm considering switching to Canton cartridge filters because they don't have a bypass valve.

[kirks5oh]

mobil 1 5w30. mobil 1 or motorcraft filters.

[BIGGU]

Shell Rotella T and wix filters in both cars.

[Berto]

06 Civic (DD duty) - Mobil 1 synthetic and pureone filter. Unless I can get the Mobil1 Filter in a package deal

 

87 RX-7 w/LS1 - See above.

 

04.5 Cummins - Valvoline Premium Blue (Dino oil) and fleetguard oil filter. I always get to 6 months and might not make the 5k mile interval. Plus 3 gallons of synthetic oil can get salty. These are both 'OEM' oil and filter anyway.

[99BlownYellowGT]

mobil 1 5w30. mobil 1 or motorcraft filters.

 

I use the same

[ponyjr1647545514]

f250 7.3 powerstroke

amsoil 15w40 full syn with amsoil filter

 

06 mustang gt

amsoil 0w20 full syn or mobil 1 5w20. amsoil ea0 filter or k&n.

 

bike and quad get amsoil 10w40 full syn and k&n every time.

 

from everything i've seen, Amsoil and mobil are the "best" oil out there, plus i get great prices on amsoil since we sell it at work. I won't skimp on oil or filter period.

bobistheoilguy.com would disagree with you on Mobil 1. It used to be great oil, but the forum members who have done UOAs on it the last few years have seen increased iron in the results.
