Autopians,



Whats your favorite motor oil?



Be it Synthetic or mineral.



Mine is Shell Helix Ultra.:xyxthumbs
 
Mobil 1 synthectic for me. This is in my lawnmower though, 5W-30. Made the lawnmower sound a bit more powerful with a deeper pitch. I like it.

Interesting post, lol. So do you use carnauba or synthetic wax on it???



Also, sounds like you have some aftermarket exhaust, borla, greddy??



;)
 
LOL, I use carnauba, Meguiar's #7 followed by #26... I have to wet sand it down though, got overspray on it and some deep swirls. So I'll be spending a few hours soon making the paint on the lawnmower perfect (its a hunter craftsman green, 6.25 hp, overkill for less than 750 sq. ft. of lawn.)
 
Right now I'm using Amsoil; I had been using Mobil 1. Miatas have a valve noise at startup, the Amsoil alleviates this.

Usually its Mobil One for me (thats what I voted for) but right now I'm trying the new Castrol Syntec 0W-30. Its the German-made SLX product which is world's better than the US made "faux synthetic" Syntec sold in stores. I'll do an analysis at 5000 miles to see how well this stuff holds up vs. M1. Should be interesting.
 
sorry guys, i kow most of you are american.



I only included the oils I know of. We dont have amsoil here.



Keep posting

:shocked no votes for Royal Purple:nixweiss



Royal Purple is way over rated. Check out some used oil analysis results and you'll see it doesn't hold up very well.
