Re: Brand of Oil

If you are planing on swaping a motor and you dont know anything about the motor Castrol GTX or any GOOD non-syntheic is a good choice 10w-30 is also the weight that would be preffred not to thin not to thick.

I run Mobil 1 Synthetic and a champ filter(made by purolater which also makes fram if I am not mistaken). There are like 3 major oil filter companies out there that make the same filters for several companies.

Valvoline max life has more conditioners and other good stuff that helps keeps the seals of the motor softer. As long as your car uses no oil, I would go ahead and keep running what your running, but if its using more than a quart of oil between changes I would bump the weight of the oil you use up a tad.
