I use Mobil 1 15w-50 - the M20's LOVE the heavier weight oil - as do the M30's.

That'd be my suggestion. ;)

Mobil 1 15W50 in both cars. I use it because they see a lot of heavy use, some track time, some autox time, etc.

It sounds like it's just some super-thick syn oil. I doubt their horsepower claims, but it may work to stop oil leaks. I used something similar on an old Mazda pick-up I had... worked ok.

Why would you want to use something like that? Do you have an oil leak? Have you tried running some Sea Foam?

Damn, we've got a high-roller on our hands, folks.

I ran that stuff back when my dad had a dealer license.

Just changed my oil today, used castrol gtx 20w-50.

[plain325]

I dont think id use that restore stuff cause it has alot of small particles in it that seem like they would clog the oil filter.

Ken, Synthetics are not thick, they are meant to flow at lowest temps, conventionals thicken as temps drop. Synthetics also manage to find all of the smallest gaps in gaskets or mating surfaces and will leak sooner than normal conventional oils.

Oh I use Valvoline Durablend 10-40 in winter and 20-50 for summer. Durablend is a semi synthetic like the Castrol Syntec.
