whatever works for you. many of us use mobil 1, but i prefer good old dinosaur oil as i have not replaced all the gaskets and seals in the engine yet. also, i really dont like the smell of burning mobil 1. its gross. my castrol gtx 10w-40 smells like sweet victory when it burns. ive always said, if its good enough for john force, its good enough for me! (and have you seen that man's daughters? daaamn, sign me up!!)
