Engine oil Mobil or AMSOIL
I use Amsoil SS mainly because I do long drains, over 20k Km. So the price of the oil is not a big issue.
Great oil but worth it only if you do long drains.
Mobil 1 15w-50, Viton o-ring from any automotive or industrial supply house, Wix or NAPA(mfd by Wix) filter.
I use Mobil 1 15/50 in the engine, rotella t 15/40 in the primary, and Mobile 1 75/140 in the transmission.
I was using 0w20 because of price but got some mobile 1 deal 0w16 for cheap so I'll try that and see if I get better MPG (currently 35-42).
Google the Mobil 1 “million mile car”.
I run Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 oil for my ZX6R. I love it. I change it every 3000 miles.
Anyway, the only 508.00 spec oil I've found locally has been this Mobil 1 ESP X2 at Wally World. (walmart) Anyone else running it? Anyone seen any deep analyses? I put lots of Mobil 1 Delvac through 2 TDIs totalling 485k miles, so I'm willing to bet on this Mobil 1. I like being able to pick it up locally, and at only $28 for 5 quarts!?
I literally just changed my oil today, I love it, I have been using AMSOIL directly for years now with free shipping and free membership if you spend 500 a year or more if I recall correctly.
I did have a 1982 diesel Jetta go 435,000 miles on oem int. shaft bearings. I had access to a lot of free Amsoil back then....so, that may have helped. However, I think it over-lubed the cylinder walls though. Rings weren't exactly what you would call 'tight.'
I am not hating on Amsoil. I am running their engine oil and ****ing hate it. burned off another quarter of a quart in the last day of driving... ive never had this kind of consumption before and there are no leaks...
