What Oil U Guys Using?
#11
just like sinful7 said above its best to run an oil with a closer operating range...its working good...but nothing noticably different from regular oil..synthetic holds better at high temps than regular so thats why i went with synthetic

Mobile1 is synthetic, do you mean Mobil0?
I run Mobile1 or Royal Purple 10w30. OMP is still operational and I do not premix.
Been doing this for 3 years or about 40k miles so far. With the temperature extremes here in Phoenix I definately prefer the durability of synthetics, especially with a couple turbos under the hood.

[quote name='Battyboy' date='Mar 15 2005, 04:21 PM']For those that are using synthetic, is this with premix and no OMP?

Also still using OMP, but I add ~ 4 oz. of MMO to a full tank of gas.

I run synthetic on the OMP with no premix. Works great for me.
To expand on what rx7girltk was saying, synthetic oil has a more consistent molecular structure, because it's engineered to be that way. Some of the significant bonuses are a higher temperature tolerance and a stronger resistance to film shear. Film shear is the point at which the basic coating of oil molecules are torn from the surfaces they cover - the resistance means less chance of engine seizure due oil system failure.
