I plan to use Amsoil 100% synthetic. I have been using it for years in my cars and I love it. My boat had a 120 Force "mix" engine on it and I used Amsoil 100% synthetic 2 cycle oil in it. One quart did 24 gallons of gas and that motor burned clean and ran like a champ for all the 9 years that I owned it. I swear by the stuff.

Standard Dead Dino here.

Valvoline 10/30 with GM Engine Oil Supplement in the Camaro.
Exxon 5/30 Drive Clean in the S10 2.2 liter .
Exxon 10/30 Drive Clean in the Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 liter .

Winter - 10W40 dino oil since I only drive it very infrequently then.

Spring thru Fall - Mobil1 15W50 synthetic. A bit thicker for those hot summer days.

For my daily drivers:

2002 CRV - 5w20 dino (145k miles on the POS)
2005 Tacoma - 5W30 Mobil1 synthetic

Amsoil for the DD's. Changing it once a year is great.

0w30 German Castrol for the LSx in the Chevelle, when she's finally running.

[jackfrost]

Royal Purple in my junk.

although I would use Amsoil as well. or really, any top of the line synthetic.

[wedgehead]

for my car with flat tappet cams I use Rotella. On my roller cam cars I use synthetic oil.

[Tony@AirRideTech]

Mobile 1 Synthetic on any of my vehicles that matter....

[Roadrage David]

Im a dealer and user of Brad penn 10w30 raceing oil winter and 20w50 racing oil(The Green Oil) in the summer. 90% dino 10% syn.. best blend of zddp,s presend and you can blend the 2 oils to your own wishes.... http://www.bradpennracing.com/ http://www.amref.com/bp_pb/7115_17_1...ng_Oils_PB.pdf

Rotella T in my GTO.

In my DD whatever is handy. I go 4 to 5K betwewen changes, and that is every 3 months anyway. I even use Fram filters which are supposed to cause your motor to instantly disintigrate if you read all the "reports" on the web. It has 175K and still has 45psi hot idleing and 80psi driving down the road oil pressure.

Last week my cousin almost lost an engine to a Fram. Keep using those things if you want, but I've heard the rumors and now I've witnessed it first hand. Those things are junk.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

MCSS: Any 20w-50 dino-base I can find... used to see full synthetic before the motor got tired;
Buick: Valvoline 20w-50 VR1 Racing Oil easier to get than the Brad Penn oil;
LS1 Camaro: German Castrol Syntec 0w-30;
Z28: Regular Castrol Syntec 5w-30 from Costco and I think I peed in there once.

I thought using rotella was really only an issue on cam break in due to the zinc content. No?

[BADNBLK]

Amsoil in the camaro, and a Bulk 76 brand syn. blend in the others.

[Steve Chryssos]

Redline Oil full synthetic from bumper to bumper. Engine-Trans-Rear-Radiator.

[mburrow]

I've had good luck with Castrol 20/50 in my 355 70 Camaro year round here in Central Texas. 3,000 mile reg. changes. Aluminum heads and intake and the roller rockers look great after 25,000 miles.

[jeff s]

Mostly Mobil 1 or royal purple.
Gear lube too.
BTW, My shop truck had Mobil 1 since new, now has 267,000 miles on the vortec 350, never been apart, not even a timing chain or valve job.
