2022 Hyundai Santa cruz MPFI 2.5L Turbo. Out - factory fill. At 3800km/2360mi. In - 4L M1 0w40 FS Euro. 2L M1 0w20 EP.

Another informative one. Haha yes I'm in Alberta! Not that we race in winter or anything. The only reason behind going with the 0wXX is the likelihood that there is more group iv/v base stock to achieve the 0w. I suppose M1 euro 0w40 is known to have more pao poe than some other oils. I guess...

This was very informative! Funny I just read the thread on the story behind BLS' RC45. I have two 5L jugs of M1 FS 0W40 I just bought this week now on my oil shelf in the basement. Canadian Tire had M1 on sale for 45% off this week. I won't get into it in this thread but choosing from my...

Thing is the oil is being drained after every race weekend. And these are sprint races. Less than 2km a lap. 6-8 laps. One day of practice/qualifications and Sunday race day. Two or three races. It almost seems ridiculous to me. An hour of engine run time and 50km per oil change. I think...

I do believe he's running Motul 7100 now? Sure we have the same engine in a sense. Mine is just a stock 599cc Honda. His is a full out built racing engine. Bang for the buck it's still a 5 gallon/19L bucket of hdeo when on sale, with some trade offs. Or potentially an M1 5w40 euro pcmo when on...

I appreciate the detailed informative response! Given suggestions have more or less pointed to choosing a motorcycle specific oil. I'm gonna have to start researching the differences between bike and car oil etc. I've simply read this and that online, on bitog and... Reason I pick a 0W is...

I've ran Shell Rotella T6 0W40 in my 2008 Honda CBR600RR's for a few years. One is a race bike and the oil gets drained after every race weekend or two. I picked up this bike this season. One of the more experienced racers who builds/tears down his own engine. Same engine as mine. Has found...

I like that idea. There's lots of time to choose a severe duty oil for when the truck is supercharged. I'm about to pick up Valvoline advanced synthetic. I wish there was a D1G2 0w30 or 0w40.

I'm mostly looking for an oil that performs well below ambient temperatures of -22°f/-30°c. Which we will likely see in the coming weeks. And the truck sees WOT a lot, and gets redlined a lot and is driven rather spiritedly. The engine is still under warranty. And the engine will get a...

Guys it's been awhile since I had to purchase engine oil, been using up old stock. Those on the up and up... I have a 2020 Colorado ZR2 LGZ 3.6L na V6 and a 2008 Honda CBR600RR. Prior to my ZR2 I had a 2.0L Turbo 2016 Camaro. I was running T6 5W40 in the bike and the car. I want to run T6...

Thanks for the response guys, I had a brain [censored] and didn't feel like looking up the periodic table of elements lol. Do pardon me! M1 was on sale last week for 50% off. I should have asked sooner lol. Gf grabbed 3 jugs of 5w30 for our stock. Its specced for her car too. Castrol is on...

It seems all the Xw40's are all high calcium. Technically I should only be using the recommended D1G2 5W30 for my gm 2.0L Turbo engine. But if a guy were to run an Xw40 oil. Which one would be as close as possible to an anti LSPI D1G2 oil in your opinion?

Maybe someday way down the road the question will be "if you could only pick one bearing grease for your electric motor, what grease would it be? " Lol. Oil...I haven't tried enough to find something vastly superior.

Funny you ask this! I have no response for you but it's a question I've been pondering all day. Sent my gf to pick up some 50% off mobil1 0w30 and 5w30. Which my engine likes. But I want to run 50/50 mix of one of the Mobil1 oils and my current choice of 0w40 T6 (older formulation). I feel it...
