Currently using german castrol since it is available from autozone again. Have used Amsoil, mobil 1, pennzoil platinum as well. All seem to have done a good job without significant amounts of consumption in my revup.

There is no best oil. Stick with what works for you and you are happy with.

I have used RP through 3 cycle of oil changes and from my experience, RP is great in the 1st month but my engine gets louder/decrease mileage about 1 1/2 months into each cycle. I cleaned my air filter before all three cycles and have not used it since. I've gotten better results with Penzoil Platinum.

Some stores stock it, sometimes. Might be better off to find a dealer and have it shipped.

some of the Napa stores carry it... Super Autobacs does too, but they never have the kind I use.

You can also find a distributor
