Okay I did a search on oils that people run and my search was less than helpful. I always get the same thing. Brad penn oil... I know that this is good oil and many run this but I would like to know what everyone runs.
So please state the engine your running and what oil you're running. Thanks, Thomas |

Valvoline straight 40W pure dino oil. What do you think the Germans were using 40 years ago? My car has never run better and cooler in hotter temps.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Single weight is the way to go. Although i do have to say im a Castrol Man! Castrol HD 40wt 1.7 with no real mods Single weight is the way to go?? Oof. Where do you live? I'll give on some of the additives topic and how you may or may not prove it in all your glorious 200k+ engines. But stating that single-weight is the only way to go is dumb. Beyond dumb. I used to swear by straight 30W. Then I realized I wasn't the only person on this side of the planet. There's the rest of the world, dumbasses. Break out of your bubble... Please at least consider your seasons and climates. Would you really run 40 in sub zero winter temps? But more to the point since we have an expert on hand.... Please explain your understanding of multi-viscosity oils and their additives over time. And please include your scientific results regarding your observations of the importance of zinc and phosphorus as they pertain to the longevity of the type IV engine. |
