Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with dwnfdrknss, Doc seems to be pretty passionate about the whole subject and I too like that there is someone with such an extensive knowledge on the life blood of our cars.

factory oil is NOT the best you can get... all it has to do with is money. whoever can give the manufacturer the cheapest price for the type of oil they need, they will use that and recommend it for use by the owner

+10000 on using AMSOIL

I first started using it on my motocross bikes for all the lubricants and will never use anything else.

Im gonna go ahead and form my own opinion on the subject rather than be influenced by an amsoils salesman. No offense.

Secondly, 2 friends lost motors to RP as well as they were road tracked cars.

Very interesting, I have used RP oil in the past in NA vehicles. I am going to stay clear of that in my Turbo Vehicles (I typically use Redline). If its on sale at Autozone, I will run through it in mine and my wifes daily driver.
