[QUOTE=xviper,Jan 11 2006, 05:15 PM]I just got one helluva headache reading this post.

 

Conventional oils lubricate a lot better than they used too, but synthetics are still better. Considering we pay so much for our S2K, to me, its worth it to put one of the best oils in it. I stick with mobil-1 5qt 10w30 jug from Walmart for $20.

 

$20 every 5,000 miles is not much $$.....go for synthetic!

 

I use Mobil1 because of so little amount of miles I drive per year. The synthetic will not break down over time as much as a conventional oils.

 

MOBILE 1 !!!!

 

Thanks for all the replies, guys! I'm just going to go with Castrol GTX. When I had the synthetic in there I had oil consumption problems and when I had the mineral oil, the oil consumption was not even an issue. Maybe once I start to go to some HPDEs I'll try Castrol Syntec or maybe Mobil 1. Thanks for all the suggestions!

 

AMSOIL

 

Chevron owns Texaco now. I'm not sure if they make Havoline oil yet, but the new GF-4 just came out. Coincidence?

 

For that price, Redline or Motul are better!!

 

Also, with Amsoil, I've never liked the "multi-level" sort of marketing of this product, nor do I like the BS they give you about buying the complete "kit" so that you can flush out the engine and prepare it for a proper conversion. This kind of sales pitch turns me right off. I don't even care anymore if it's a good product or not.
