My car has had 5w 30 Mobile 1 Syn oil with every change, every 3k miles. With other brands out there, is there anything better? With now running e85 and putting down about 420WHP should I change weight? Please give me your two cents. I was looking at AMSOIL and Eneos???
Don't deviate from whats recommended. Just save your money and stick with the recommended mobil 1. You can get a five qt. jug at wally world for twenty bucks.

You should be running 10w30 Mobil, its in the car manual. U need 5.4qts exaxtly any less and you'll get a low oil light on your dash.

Because your oil cap says so. Seriously mobil 1 isn't bad but there is better ie amsoil sso 
doesn't recommend aftermarket parts.

Use of the ASTM D-4172 or D-4172B 4-Ball would be better suited.

I just started running Elf/Total oil...100% synthetic Quartz Racing 10w-50 $7-8.00/L I have only been running it for 500 miles, but so far the engine seems like it is running fairly smooth. I do not have much to compare it to though since I changed out cheap break in oil for the Elf. .
for about the same price we can get you dominator RD 15w50, oil designed to be abused

, tells me that cheaper is not always better when you are dealing with a turbo thats 2k and an engine thats almost 4k,,, lots of dough involved to save 1$ a quart
