No one posted that up, the samples they posted up were the brad penn 20w/50, ive seen tons of post with the whole oil debate going on but most always is some blowing alot of smoke around. Maybe when my car starts pushing down more ponies and i have the risk of ruining something then ill make a switch to something else. untill then ill stick with factory fill

Well Im not taking the chance over something as simple as an oil change. My Brad Penn is on the way so it gives me a little more security on the car.

Who is Brad Penn? And what's a phosphate? You can use vegetable oil on the Evo? I'm going to give it a try.

True that. I will be at the next one also.
BTW, has anyone installed a front motor mount? I have a BLOX front motor mount coming in, and wanted to know if someone could help me install it. I dont have the tools to do it, and I havent done one yet on an Evo.
