    What Oil do you use?

    Just curious to see what oil all of the swap cars are running on.

    I have always used Mobil 1 synthetic. I use it in all of my vehicles.

                                                      think better question is what should we be using? i used shell rotella straight 30 for breakin, then 10w40 rotella after the first 20 miles for breakin. Now I need another oil change... contemplating staying dino or going synthetic... and what weight...

                                                          Castrol 10-40, pretty sure thats the weight but regular dino just like from the dealership but not 8 bucks a quart like they charge.
