Oil Recommendation

Penrite Racing Ten Tenths 10w40.
You get what you pay for.

Isn't high zinc bad for catalytic converters?

yeah, if you drive a 1980 chevy.

Thanks Tony, and that's why we listen to you

He wanted the oil sample from inside my oil filter - so I'll be changing oil then.

Gb - according to their experience with turbo liberties Bill said amsoil gets 10-15k kms between changes on 98. I doubt they would let you get it farked based on what we spoke about. Obviously if you're running ethanol - different story.

did he say what other km he gets out of other brand oils?

also did he say how hard those cars with that recommendation were used? personally I wouldn't go over 8 if he was saying 10-15k to give yourself some buffer, hard to say if the one 10k service interval was harder driven than another 10k

I might have to hit him up for some oil testing.

did he recommend a type of filter too?

We didn't talk much about other oil brands, only mentioned that royal purple is for racing only as it will build up wear particles fast, because made for hp gains.

The style of driving was brought up a fair bit - the libs getting 12-15 are driven at an average pace "with occasional boost" as Bill put it.

That's also why he said bring the oil in when I think it's ready - because it's as much about matching the oil to the driving style as it is to the particular engine. I'm thinking 5,000-7,000km.

They recommend the Amsoil oil filter after the first amsoil oil change, as it filters a lot finer (some impressive micron number) and keeps oil cleaner for longer. But considering the Amsoil filter is $66 and I still have 9 OEM filters lying around, I'll just change oil more often

Ive used Castrol Edge - 0W-40 in my last 2 Subaru's thrashed the bejusus out of them left then in the snow for weeks on end and changed the oil and filter every 10000 and never had a problem .

Im glad you said the people doing 12-15 are average paced people... people would have read that differently and thought hey our modified cars that cop a thrashing are ok for those intervals. keeping it at 5k is cheaper insurance on an engine...

did he say what the bypass valve was set for on the amsoil filter? changine filter an oil more often will help keep the crap out of your engine anyway! look inside a cars oil cap that you can see the head as you cant on a Subaru that has full service or extra servicing done and compare it to a car that's missed a couple and its easy to see the difference, one will be carbon depsoits and scum starting to stick to the alloy ect

With my old wagon I experimented with sooo many oils including diesel oils, expensive synthetics and minerals like Magnatec (Magnatec was actually one of the better ones).

With the new beast I get it services they use Motul Turbolight and it seems fine and don't see any reason to change.
