Agreed, but cost and performance are two different things in my opinion. The cost of an oil does not mean it will perform well...case in point, Castrol Syntec....not really a synthetic oil, has synthetic oil costs.

And by the way, I get my Amsoil for 4.55 a quart. 8)

 

Unless you're using the german-made stuff...

 

For the new motor, I'm just going to let Sakai decide and stick w/whatever he says. :roll:

 

Its allways going to be prefference. Like i said most any oil will be fine usually as long as its a full syn. However i like redline because I believe it's the best from my own expierence. besides Real Time Racing uses it in thier champianship winning ITRs and you can't argue with that. :arrow:

 

That is totally different. Those engines are torn down after each race. Longevity is hardly a factor to those engines like ours.

 

"Unless you're using the german-made stuff..."

Yes. I was referring to the kind you see on the shelves which is what most people would get. Only us hardcore enthusiasts know about that German mix. Most who see Castrol Syntec on the shelf at wal mart would assume it was a synthetic because, well because it says synthetic. Too bad they market like that. :?

 

The German made stuff can be found at autozone in 0W-30

So far so good for me... i'll be sending a sample out for analysis as soon as i get around to changing the oil.

 

Really? Never looked there for it....of course I've never looked for it at all, hehe. How much did it run you a quart?

 

Same price as M1 or the other Syntec.
