What would you guys choose?

[nismomanx21]

I work for a auto parts store, about 2 mos. ago I purchased a 04 SE-R Spec V. I'm dumping the break in oil and I have access to Mobil 5-30 10-30 0-40 5-40, Castrol 5-40, Royal Purple and Chevron 5-30 and 10-30. Which oil would you guys use.

thanks

What's the factory recommended viscosity?

Out of the lubes you mentioned, I'd pick M1 0w-40 or 5w-40.

 

[sbc350gearhead]

I would probably start with RP or mobil 1 10w30.

 

[Audi Junkie]

As much as I like the 5w-40, it is a wee bit heavier then 0w-40 and a lil thick for this application. If I had to pick one oil for that car, it'd be GC, but def try the M1 0w-40 for mpg and good visc.

 

[nismomanx21]

The factory recommends 5-30, 10-30 or 10-40. One grade I also forgot to mention was the GC 0-30. I can order it.

Has anyone heard of Leading Edge Lubricants, we carry them and also carry a synthetic oil that they make.

I just wondering if they are any good.

Again thanks for any replies.

I don't see any benefit from a 5wXX oil in your Texas climate. 10w30 would get my nod. Either the M1 or Chevron, depending on how you feel in the dino vs. syn debate (another whole topic).

 

[Steve S]

M1 5w/40 if you want longer service intervals. Chevron supreme 10w/30 with 5,000 miles maximum service intervals.

 

[Santo Fontana]

Is price a consideration? If not;

1) Synergyn 3 or 5w30
2) GC
3) M1 0w40

I have Mobil 1 5w-30 in my 04 Altima 2.5s which has the same engine as your Spec V and it runs great, quiet and free reving and 32mpg on the highway.

 

[goldfinger]

M1 10-30

 

[mf150]

Red Line 5W40 LOL!

 

[TR3-2001SE]

I vote with Goldfinger M1 10-30.

 

[GROUCHO MARX]

If I could buy it in a store, I'd buy the Schaeffer's blend.

 

[Virtuoso]

GC.
