i have been using royal purple 5w 30 all the time and it seems good.

kd07z 01-17-2009 01:34 PM

i use synthetic ams oil 5-30 summer, 0-30 winter. got it because of good reviews. i like the oil but not the price.

350ZPK 01-17-2009 04:17 PM

5w30

ran Mobil 1 syn but switched to castrol i think

singh 01-17-2009 04:31 PM

I used regular Castrol conventional oil 5w-30 for a few thousand miles and then I switched to synthetic. I currently use Castrol Syntec 5w-30. To be honest I can't tell the difference. :dunno:

In the summer I plan on using Mobil1 0w-40 (European Formula), they said it performs well..

Im the only guy running 10w30 mobil 1 fully synthetic it seems. Stock should be 5w 30 but I change my own oil and they didnt have any 5w30 at walmart when i went!

ninor 01-17-2009 07:24 PM

I use 5w30 mobil 1 synthetic... I get them at costco when they are on sale with $7-9 off for 5 or 6 quarts... It comes out to $22 and I have my dealership change it for $15 for labor and filter since I'm lazy to do it myself.

don't have HR, but castrol "German" syntec 0W-30 works great [but the price has gone up in my area...now costs as much as RP] My current fill @ just over $5 a quart is Pennzoil Platinum

jgregory124 01-18-2009 08:24 PM

i picked Castrol Syntec 5w-30 now for the best oil filter, mobil 1, K&N ? Any thoughts?

OzzyRulez 01-19-2009 12:23 AM

I've been running Mobil 1 5w-30 and a Pure-One filter

Im using Mobile-1 0w-40 and Mobile-1 filter. However I was doing a search on this late Saturday and am going to try the Wix filter. I would do a search for the thread but Im lazy and already did my own research and the post was very informative with flow & filtration numbers.

BTW, Mobile-1 filters have a great filtration system but I think flow was considered low. I haven't had a problem with the bigger filter (I don't use the little one that Mobile-1 recommends).

Im very surprised that there was no flaming on this thread like all the other "What Oil/Filter" threads.

this isn't the "Best motor Oil" thread, this is the what type of oil and filter are you running in your HR thread.

Nobody is asking which is the best oil to run, only to see what every one else is running

kelsey_kaye 01-19-2009 04:46 PM

whatever my guy at the car care place puts in there...

Profink 01-19-2009 05:07 PM

I've been running Royal Purple 5w30 for a while. Tried a few other brands, but after watching a friction test I'll never use anything else.

rubenationZ 01-22-2009 04:23 PM

still getting free oil changes from dealer so whatever they use

red_magic2000 01-22-2009 06:03 PM

How do I spot the german castrol oil? I currently use mobile 1 5w-30 with a wix oil filter.
