Doing little oil research thru here and there. Found this thread thru evo forum. Something to read if you got nothing to do now.

If this is repost, mod plz delete or lock this thread. Thanks.

 

came across this a while back as i was on the evolutionm forum with my evo.

couple things, yes, it was proven. and yes, changing from mobile one for those of you with JB turbo's would be a sound choice.

i am sticking with castrol edge personally.

 

Wow, that's interesting. I was going to use Mobil 1 but couldn't find the weight I wanted... Now I'm glad I couldn't! I'm using Redline and am happy with it.

 

how does it effect jb turbo's?

 

That thread is just like any other oil thread, i.e. not substantiated with any hard facts.

I used Mobil 1 in my Evo, in my Nissan, in my CBR 600RR and in the S2k. There is no magic oil that is totally superior to any other oil.

If you want a reliable engine, it's as simple as this: change the oil often. Don't go to a track day using oil that's 4k miles old or has multiple track days on it already.

 

Thats for sharing.

 

Castrol syntec here. I mght try edge sometime

 

i used the free recycled oil that comes out of the pump at my dealership on my 772whp s2000 with stock 130k mile motor.

oh yeah shees still running.
