What's a good oil?

**Joey Danger** · 11-08-2009, 02:24 PM

My engine has 165,000+ miles

Any one recommend specific oil?

**johnygezony** · 11-08-2009, 02:54 PM

Have you been using Conventional Or Synthetic ?

**Joey Danger** · 11-08-2009, 02:59 PM

synthetic

**johnygezony** · 11-08-2009, 03:13 PM

Its up to preference, what are you using right now, I use castrol syntec 5w-30. Thats all my car has ever known.

**Joey Danger** · 11-08-2009, 03:21 PM

I'm using Quaker State High Mileage 10w-40

Castrol synthetic and Mobil1 still perform as one of the better sythetic oils out there in the market.

I personally Mobil1 in both of my Galants.

**pinoyesv6** · 11-11-2009, 06:03 PM

AMSoil.

My dad bought 6 cases of Mobil1 because it was on sale and my car is due for an oil change and im dirt broke but I'll just wait to save up some money and buy some AMSoil. My 8G will just sit until pay day.

^ Never Heard of it

**6g72lover** · 11-11-2009, 06:41 PM

is a new in america
ENEOS is original of NIPPON

Mobil One is garbage. AMSoil FTW. And I've run both. Mobil can not handle anything over 7500 miles. AMSOil is fine well above that, even under spirited driving. I ran AMSoil for 15,000 miles with less additive package loss than Mobil One had in half the life. The only problem is finding AMSoil.

tru, i try to stock up on ams and buy an extra gallon or two w/ filters...its just annoying to wait for delivery or having to find a place

Umm why would you even do that? I run synthetic and change every 5,000 or less. I've only put about 15k miles on G last 3 years and she has had 5 oil changes with synthetic and 1 dino oil.

Very good oil....just very new to the U.S market. I have met quite a few people from Europe speak highly of Eneos oil, but hate the fact they can't find it here in the US.

I ran it like that just to test it, 1) because AMSoil will warranty the engine if the oil is the cause of the failure and 2) I've seen it run in fleet cars for 30,000 miles without problems.

because he can. i've put 20k+ miles on amsoil with no problems at all. the 29mpg average on my v6 is an added plus.

which reminds me, the last time I changed the oil in my 8g was late 2008, its just about time to change my oil again.

as for finding amsoil, i know several shops in my area that carry it. if you go to the amsoil website you can find local dealers that have it. i personally just fork over the $20 preffered customer deal and get the discount. with as much AMSoil that I buy, its well worth the membership cost.

So for the amsoil, what are you guys using? 0w-30, 5w-30, XL 5w-30? also when you pay the $20 for the membership what discount do you get? it says 20%-25% on the site.

5W30 aka ASL-01-QT

if you add the membership to your cart and then add the oil, you can see the discount.
