Best Oil to run

[Andre3127]

A friend of mine turned me onto Shell Rotella T5 15w40 at $18 a gallon. Seems to run great.

i saw that video long ago and dig it... to be honest i have used all kinds of different oils... i have 270k on the clock... still purrs. from what i can tell, everyone uses a different oil in their cars.
i would say the argument is sorta mute.

I use Brad Penn Penn Grade 1 20W50 Partially Synthetic "The Green Oil"

Has a high zinc content as well.

High Zinc might be good idea when running M20 having bad reputation to wear out valvetrain due friction. That's why I've used 10w-40 meant for big diesels. But this is just a religion, based on rumours.

Stay away from this oil...I think. I used to use Shell Rotella 15W40 then switched over to Chevron because of the price. My car has a small oil drip from the pan now. I think Chevron has more detergent and it cleans the deposit from the oil pan and created my small seepage. It might just be coincidence...

Cant say I noticed any new leaks with about 100 miles on it since the change. Will watch for it. Already trying to run down a coolant leak.

I just picked up 3 one gallon jugs of Chevron Delo 15w-40 at Costco for $37. Has the same level of zinc as the M1 equivalent.

The new vr1 jug looks like a fabric softener bottle.

There is no need for additives just oil use an oil with the right stuff in it.

Liquimoly Ceretec additive looks pretty good as well, read up on it. I think I'm going to try it out at my next oil change.

I've been using Mobile 1 15w50 in my M30 and it's nice to see confirmation that it is a good street oil choice.
