Which oils would you like to try?

+1 ... FCD gets the gold with that reply ...

There aren't many oils out there I wouldn't want to try, aside from the obvious PQIA list of shame members, and certain viscosity options from various brands. But, there are very many oils I'd like to try and simply never had the chance yet. I probably could never try everything I wanted.

 

[Revving2Redline]

After its made one day...Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 HM or PUP 0w30 would be great after 250,000 miles on the engine. Oh, and some of that Kmart Greased Lightning with PTFE on my door hinges.

I'd like to try a full sump of Valvoline Synpower 5W-40, but don't want to pay the single quart price.

 

[CharlieBauer]

So many interesting answers.

I'm going to have to lengthen my list!

 

[Silk]

I would like to try some expensive oils - oils are like wine, and I buy the cheapest I can find that do the job.

I'm addicted to high oil pressure, so next summer instead of the usual SAE 40 in the LML D-Max, I might give Duron 20W50 CJ-4 a try.

I have never tried a HM oil yet. Thinking Maxlife
My daily driver (2010 Hyundai 2.4L w/116k) been using PYB. Don't know at what point to try HM or go synthetic. Or stay with PYB since no adding with 5k OCIs, no leaks.

Valvoline VR1 20w-50 for the Harley as I'm on my last fill of Amsoil. So maybe VR1 next OC.

Thanks to Internet access and mail-order I've tried every commercially available oil that I wanted to try.

The only remaining oil I haven't tried is the Mugen Fish Oil of lore..

NAPA will put the Synpower line on sale for $4.99/qt from time to time, and they stock the 5w-40. (or can get it).

I'm really looking forward to running the SJ Kendall GT-1 30 I've got. Guess I'm one of a those dark agers.

Anything under a 15W-40 HDEO is water to me yes... Straight 60 mixed 50/50 with Lucas is where it's at.

Honda 0w-16.

(Perhaps MGMO 0w-20, also. But that is more from a sense that I'm just paying an absurd sum of money for Sustina 0w-20, rather than from any real curiosity/desire to try the MGMO 0w-20.)
