Elf/Total 10w50 ONLY no other oil compares..

BTW Mobil 1 is not a PURE synthetic ... figured u may want to know.

what is it then oil and unicorn piss?

nope.. it is a basestock 3 oil... Basestock 3/4 oil

basestock 3 is highly refined dino oil (still just dino oil) basestock 4 is synthetic oil

IN the US in order to be a synthetic oil you only have to have 18% basestock 4 mixed with basestock 3 oil in order to qualify.

Mobl 1 has 20% basestock 4 oil..

in otherwards it like midgrade gas.. u pay extra for nothing..

ELF/Total and Amzoil (not sure yet on Royal purple) is a PURE 100% basestock 5 oil (ultra high refined synthetic oil.

food for thought the next time u buy your "synthetic" oil for 4.00 a bottle and buy it at WALMART remember your paying for the name not the product..

PREMIUM oil is sold at a PREMIUM price and not in a supermarket.

more food for thought..

Idementsu (sp) as most of you know is a PREMIUM TOP LINE rotary oil..

Produced, and manufactured by ELF/TOTAL ;)

Bah, synthetic is for worry warts (in rotaries).

I use Mobil One Synthetic in the Jeep and the Mazda3.

I hate discussions on oil, they never go well, and everyone feels their opinion is the best.

true oil will always be a battle about preference all I can do is offer the facts and my opinion and be done with it.

and I just use synthetic in all my cars because I feel it protects better and for the price why not.

Rotella 20-W50

Diesel oil huh? How's that working?

Yeah Rotella T is great stuff I use it in about 98% of all the diesels I work on..

But that is 15w40 Rotella

all that food for thought is making me hungry haha,

i didnt know that about the oil, thanx for the info!

There is also a national shortage on Mobil 1 oil. If you shop at Advance you'll see a flyer prorating a previous discount that was intended for Mobil products to go toward any other synthetic in the store.

Also remember Mobil1 is perifin base.

Exactly. It might be great stuff, but for $40 for 5 liters, no thanks. I can get 12 quarts of GTX for that. Granted, it may not be the best oil, but it's plenty good enough. In 100,000 miles you'll be spending $1000 for oil changes if you use the Total stuff. I'd much rather spend 1/2 that and have a perfectly fine engine. Your compression might be 3 psi higher, but I can live with that. :D

well when u drop 6K or more on a motor spending 40.00 ever couple months to change the oil is a small price to pay for added protection..

remember it cost money to play the game..

how much do u want to spend?

Now dont get me wrong I have no problem with conventional oil.. if I used it I would use GTX thats my preference.. HOWEVER IMO the synthetic oil is a better oil and its not that much more in my eyes.
