i contributed to this thread, but I'm not really sure what the point of it being a sticky is. I can only see that we all are using different oil and filters and they all seem to be working just fine.

 

The point was for people to post data analysis of the oil they are using. Theres at least a thread a week asking what oil someone should run for fill in the blank turbo or supercharger kit. Rather then everyone saying I heard Bob's Oil and BBQ sauce works good the thought was we could record what everyone is using and then later as people who are actually interested in gathering data got an oil analysis done we could add the analysis to the post for the type of oil on this thread. That way I'm not just saying use Jiffy Lube super special blend because I like the color but rather someone can look at actual data and make their own decision.

 

Could we add a link to purchase oil that is not commenly available in stores.

 

purchasing some of the more exotic oils loses its charm when you factor in the shipping and handling. depending on the price, S/H can add up to 30% additional increase in the price of the oil. I have seen some vendors with free shipping on orders of $100 or more, though.

 

Flash point on Mobil 1 is 446'F/ 230 C'

 

Royal Purple-10W 30.......workin good.........like the product!!

 

Brand: Motul 300v
Weight: 5w-40
Type: Full Synthetic
Cost: $65~ for 6L (sold in 2L cans)

I am thinking of switching to a heavier weight oil in the 50's range. The 300v at 5w-30 has an avg of 13.8 CST @ 100 deg C which is pretty stable for a 30 weight. Also looking into ELF Excellium Full-Tech 0w-30 with 12-18 CST @ 100 deg C and the oh-so rare Castrol Syntec from Germany (green).

 

I cant find any Blackstone Lab thread for FI specific cars anywhere. So I am necromancing this one. I know Alberto had his reports somwhere but cant find that one either. It should be stickied and populated every time someone gets a Blackstone test done on their oil

Brand: Generic Napa
Weight: 20W-50
Type: Dino
Cost:
Viscosity Index:
Flash point: 445
Oil Filter used with this oil: Mobile1 M1 108

Most recent oil analysis submitted 10/20/11 with 2259mi change interval. Technically 3rd oil change but the 1st change was with the car never leaving the jack stands.

Switched over to Mobile1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 with a Purolator Pure 1 filter. The motor has like <3000 miles so hopefully everything falls inline next change

What does SP use?

 

Anyone using AMSOIL ZROD? Suppose to be more of a Modified engine oil. A friend of mine refereed me to a thread : http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-eng...-oil-line.html and http://www.streetlegaltv.com/news/ne...assic-engines/



AMSOIL Z-ROD™ Synthetic Motor Oil is specially engineered for classic and high-performance vehicles. It features a high-zinc formulation to prevent wear on flat-tappet camshafts and other critical engine components, along with a proprietary blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors for added protection during long-term storage. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to perform on the street and protect during storage.

AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, the First in Synthetics®, to do the best job protecting your engine.

Protects Flat-Tappet Cams
The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one another, producing high friction and heat. The friction between the two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather than pressure lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds extra strain on anti-wear additives like the zinc and phosphorus in zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).

AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus formulation provides the extra wear protection these critical splash-lubricated components require.

Provides Long-Term Protection from Rust & Corrosion
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with a unique blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during long-term storage. To prove its effectiveness, AMSOIL submitted Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil to the Standard Test Method for Rust Protection in the Humidity Cabinet (ASTM D-1748). This test evaluates the rust-preventative properties of oil under high-humidity conditions, similar to those faced by a covered hot rod in a damp garage. The metal coupon treated with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil showed no signs of oxidation after 192 hours, while the coupon treated with a leading competitor’s product failed the test after 24 hours.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for older or modified engines requiring either 10W-30 or 20W-50 motor oil. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil meets API SL and earlier specifications, allowing for increased levels of anti-wear additives. ZDDP levels in Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil exceed the limits of API SM and newer specifications.

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils are compatible with conventional and other synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils.

SERVICE LIFE
Because classic cars, hot rods and other performance vehicles are generally modified by their owners, AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for a maximum drain interval of 5,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Heavily modified vehicles (forced induction, nitrous) should not exceed 3,000 miles or one year between oil changes, whichever comes first.

HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available via the Internet at www.amsoil.com or upon request at (715) 392-7101. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don’t pollute. Return used oil to collection centers.
