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.

Use of the ASTM D-4172 or D-4172B 4-Ball would be better suited.
Also, RP has been asked to remove all advertising referring to any test reports as they are only from people reporting their findings and not through the use of Certified Tests.

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
