Best Synthetic Oil?

#3. Amsoil - very high tech oil, but apparently drifts up in weight with high OCI

This happened in the past, not new formulations.

Cool on the 25K OCI's!!!

Ya All have it wrong

Neo
Redline
Amsoil

 

[salesrep]

Schaeffers 9000

Ah. 7000 competes as a syn as well.

M1 all the way here too. I haven't tried the Extended stuff and probably don't want to. I believe oil should be changed out every 10k or 1 year because they are the cheapest part of the maintenance.

IMHO, for daily drivers, "normal" cars and "normal" driving conditions:

1. Pennzoil Platinum (best value when on bogo, rebates, etc.)
2. Amsoil (best overall)
3. Schaeffer's (only from what I've read...sounds like a great oil)

Redline, because pao basestocks are too much like a higher gpIII . What ever that means

 

[mcrn]

Redline
Amsoil
Mobil 1 0w40 and 5W40

 

[Fester]

Good old Pennzoil, I like the Golden color it leaves on my valve covers.

 

[Triple_Se7en]

0W-20 .... Amsoil
5W-20 .... Redline
0W-30 .... German Castrol
5W-30 .... Schaeffers
5W-40 .... Delvac-1
10W-30 ... Petro Canada

 

[jkhawaii]

Redline
Mobil
Ams

 

[gundog]

Amsoil (best overall)
Redline (best racing)
Pennzoil Platinum (best value)

This is my opinion!

 

[Volvohead]

Ok, I'll bite.

Redline, Motul v300 and GC, in that order.
Delvac 1 gets honorable mention.
PP at BOGO gets the value award.

Ask me after several beers, and I might say old Kendall GT-1. It gave me the same rush as any synthetic has. I think G-Man is currently having a love affair with it.

Not that any of these would be the best oil in your vehicle.

Maybe we should do one for worst synthetic oil?

Maybe start one for the most mediocre oil.

Royal Purple
Pennzoil Platinum
Mobil 1 or GC
Amsoil good also

 

[Max_Wander]

Redline
Esso XD-3
Tech2000 Synth

[TimVipond]

Based on the results of this report http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g2156.pdf, personal experience with the top two
Amsoil
Mobil 1
Pennzoil Platinum

 

[webfors]

Only ever used Amsoil syns... well except for that Motomaster Syn I used in that mighty 3 cylinder geo metro in the early 90's

So, for sh1ts and giggles:

1. amsoil
2. PP -> from the good things I've heard
3. mobil 1 because it's available everywhere

 

[pp_rp]

Pennzoil Platinum

Never had this until GrpIII's came along big time.
