Mobil 1 as long as it's been on synthetic all its life; 5-30 or 10-30 works well for our motors

i like the Mobil1 10-30. i find that the 5-30 is a lil thin but thats just me

[e30s52]

what do you guys think about the royal purple 5w-30?

[PiercedE30]

I'm using LiquiMoly 10-60W RaceTech. Kind of expensive, but I like it.

Royal Purple is overpriced. Go with Mobil 1, Total, or Elf.

10w-30 mobile one all the way

Royal Purple Racing41 (XPR 10W40) for track duty, otherwise Castrol TWS (10W60).

What's the logic in going with a lighter oil for track days?

Well their heavier oil is 20W50, I've used that too but I like 10W40. Besides, the main thing is the protection levels of XPR, which is above and beyond anything else.

Mobil 1 15w50, tape a 20 dollar bill to it if you want the "royal purple" experience.

MEE TOOOO!!!

The best part is, it's around $4 a quart if you buy gallon jugs.

Cheap good-ish oil FTW.
