I have a 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman S and I want to do my own oil changes for it. I'm finding LL-01 oil rather difficult to find. I also don't believe in really long drain intervals on these Direct Injection engines either, I prefer no more than 7500 miles. Anyway, I'm wondering what the BMW...

At the moment, my level of oil experience isn't very broad, especially in the realm of racing and spirited driving, I would like to keep this to oils that are easy to obtain. Currently the oils I'm familiar with at the moment for some momentary full throttle fun with my little CRX Si is with...

So I've been doing a lot of research into oils and want the best going into my engines weather new or old. But theoretical situation. Mobil 1 HM or Valvoline HM vs Motul 8100 series oil (Has Esters, it's in the FAQ on the Motul site) So I was reading about Ester based oils and they have...

What oil certs are the toughest performance wise, I havent found a lot of details on many. Currently the only ones I can think of are A3/B3 and Porsche A40. Anybody have the specs on those for testing as well as other tough performance based oil testing? I don't care too much about fuel economy...

Is there any additional benefits to using oils made by Amsoil/Motul/Red Line? I can't imagine those companies being able to produce oils better than Pennzoil/Shell, Mobil 1, Castrol, or Valvoline. Amplifying infomation is greatly appreciated, don't just say it's awesome. I plan on build an...

So, I am a bit confused by what is good and what is bad, always told Wix is good, seems that is still true for the most part. I thought Purolator were good, but now I'm hearing issues about those in regards to tearing. The most confusing part comes from the Fram Ultra is good, I thought the...

So I am trying to get opinions on these 2 oils, currently using Valvoline Max Life 10W40 and am thinking about my next oil change, saw a VOA that seemed pretty promising for Castrol Edge High Mileage 10W40. What do you guys think? Anyone seen a black stone labs VOA for the castrol oil? Oil is...

I'm using Chevron Delo 400 LE 15W40 in my Z24 engine. The engine from what the gauge says is at 211,000 miles, engine runs very quite when it started using this oil as well as when I adjusted the valve clearances. So what do you recommend, I'm using an OEM Oil Filter. Do you guys recommend 5,000...

I have a 2007 Mazda MX5 Miata, just trying to get the best oil for my car. I routinely bring my car up to redline. OCI is 5,000 miles, or maybe a little more, I don't intend to keep extended OCI, I also use Wix filters. I'm wondering which oil would be better, the oil weight is 5W20.

I'm trying to figure out what oil I want to use for my 84 Nissan Pickup. It has the 2.4 liter Z24 SOHC engine. I started out putting in 10W30 Mobile 1 High Mileage oil. I've got some valve train noise so I'm checking the valve clearances, but the chance that it is still in spec, should I change...

So I'm still looking at which oil to get my Miata, personally I would love for it to last a long time, I know Miatas are very easy on oil, but for the sake of longevity, I want to use the best without having to change to another brand for a good while. I'm currently looking at 2 different oils...

I have a 2000 Miata with around 100,500 miles on the odometer. I currently live in San Diego, Ca, I regularly take my car up to redline when I feel the desire to go really fast. I am currently using Castrol Syntec (non-edge version) 10W30. The engine is in good shape, when I got it the engine...

I need an oil that has a decent amount of ZDDP for my rebuilt motor. I have a 1980 Toyota Corolla with a 3TC, this is a pushrod motor with solid lifters and I'm putting in a performance flat tappet type cam (Isky Racing TH77 cam). I'd like to know what you guys would recommend. The block is...
