motor oil

what motor oil do you guys suggest/use? what kind of oil filter do you guys suggest and from what car?

Please search for threads from an individual by the name of PalmerWMD. He used to be our local oil guru and I know that his posts are still around.

Please read the parts sticky's regarding which oil filter to use. Just about every part you need for your car will come from an 88' Nissan Pulsar NX SE.

i read palmers threads, smart guy, but you guys have got to have personal experiences, opinions, on a good brand and type of oil. seems like valvoline 10W-30 is good? what do you guys suggest.

from teh silvia forum

ask any engine builder about putting pennzoil in your car... and they will ask why you hate the car so much

(i havnt done so myself, but many ive talked to have found a rediculously thick sludge on pennzoil engines as opposed to any other)

and mobil 1 synthetic is the winner for what you will find at any normal store

royal purple rocks the house, and if you have a ton of cash, use redline oil every time

(im using mobil 1 for my engine break in, then royal purple for interval changes)

I highly recommend anything made my amsoil. I am a firm believer in their products. Redline and Royal Purple are also very high quality oils/products.

+1 for Amsoil+1 for Mobil 1

Personal experience with both, and outstanding results from both.

Remember that Amsoil basically invented synthetic oil...

I use Mobil1 15W-50 year round here in Texas. Great stuff. Not cheap, but worth it. I change it about every 8-10 weeks, and it is always nice and golden. Takes heat and abuse like a champ.

how about reading basically the same thread that was started probably a day or so before you made yours?

i meant this to be ca specific and i realize there might not be a huge difference but i am a little whore about the small technicalities of maintenece and im sure a lot of you guys can relate. what weight do you guys recommend?

[rico05]

As stated: 15W-50.

All my SR buddies run the same. You however, would only want to run that heavy of an oil in the summer.
