I did a who shitload of research on oils before i decided which to use in my car.
Its in an all aluminum V8 (LS1), but im guessing it would be just as good for any other motor also.
Heres my findings:
Mobil 1 Synthetics - Stain the internals. After 20k miles of this sh!t in my truck (iron V8, but i see it on all aluminum engines i see) the crank, rods, block etc all come out with a nasty brown tint on them.
Castrol 0w30 - The german stuff (it says made in germany on the back, the US stuff is no good) is amazing. I picked up 6rwhp in my v8 with it. Its a yellow-green coloured oil, its down right amazing. 15k with it, id never use another oil again. Came out clean on all 5 changes, motor feels like it revs up easier etc. I use it with a Fram synthetic filter.
GC 0w30 took The Internets by storm and people have been jumping on it like gangbusters. What motor do you use it in, I don’t want some KA/SR/CA/RB fanboy thinking it’s a good for our engines, if it isn’t …
